On  Saturday, July 30 , the Camp Promotions Committee of MAC will host a cookout/activity day for current  2017 National Jamboree contingent members and those looking to learn more about joining our group . The event will take place at  Camp Cedars (around the pool area) from  11 AM - 3 PM . We hope you can join us that day for some great food and activities before the summer comes to an end and as the 1 year countdown begins! Activities will include swimming, shooting sports, gaga balls, and more.

For interested Scouts and their parents, a meeting will be held at  1:30 PM that Saturday, 7/30. It will provide all the  Jamboree information needed as well as answer any questions you may have.

Please RSVP your attendance (for food and activity planning purposes) online. Special thanks to Lesley Royal, Scott Hanson and the Council Camping Committee for hosting!

This awesome experience begins with 4 days of touring Washington, DC. You spent time studying history and now it's your opportunity to see it "up close and personal". Then it's off to the Summit to join tens of thousands of Scouts from across the nation at the 2017 National Jamboree. If you like adrenaline-raising activities, high energy stadium shows, the wild outdoors of West Virginia then the 2017 National Jamboree is for you! It is the best Scouting has to offer, fun, friends and adventure!
