National Boy Scout Jamboree

For two-weeks nearly 9,000 Scouts from places like Colorado, Texas, California and the Philippines to name a few locations, visited the Navy’s activation where they were able to talk face to face with Sailors, compete on the pull up challenge and tour the Navy’s virtual reality trailer, the Nimitz.

"Setups like the Navy’s are very valuable at events like this so scouts can learn about other things they can do when they leave scouting, like the military."
“Having the ability to lead others, form ideas and use teamwork in a competitive nature are all parts of the mindset needed for scouting and the military.”
