Three members of Troop 139 at the 2010 National Jamboree in VA.

Throughout the year of 2012, our Troop is preparing to attend Jamboree 2013, and we are hoping to send 6 boys to West Virginia next July! Forty thousand Scouts are expected to attend from all over the world, and this Jamboree will be the first at a permanent site specifically for Boy Scout Jamborees! The cost will be about $1,500 per Scout, so we will need to do substantial fundraising throughout the next year. Anyone wishing to help sponsor a Scout should

contact Scoutmaster Peter Duston.
