Area scouts head to Jamborees
Every four years the Boy Scouts offer members the opportunity to attend Scouting Jamborees. Thee are mega-scouting events in far-away places where attendees learn more about themselves, other scouts/scouting, and the world. Prior to COVID-19, the National and International Scouting Jamborees alternated on two year cycles, but during this recovery year, both Jamborees are this summer. The BSA Scouting National Jamboree will be held at the “Summit Bechtel” Scout Reservation in West Virginia. Local First Class Scout Zachry Rice will get the experience of a lifetime by attending from July 19-28. Having earned his way through Scout popcorn sales last year, Zach said he is excited. Fellow Life Scout Taliesin LeDoux will travel to South Korea to attend the International Scouting Jamboree, joining 45,000 scouts from around the world His father, local Scoutmaster Spencer LeDoux, will also attend this year’s International Jamboree. It will be his 5th International Jamboree since he joined Scouting in San Marcos in 1989.
