The Simon Kenton Council sent six troops to the 2001 jambo.
Two troops from the "southern" area of our council went to the
2001 National Jamboree. Troop 1315 was lead by Dale Bailey, Troop 1312 by Phil Malone. These pages have some of our experiences. Be sure to check out all three pages! What is it they say, " .... a picture is worth a thousand words?" More than a year away, the jamboree troops begin recruiting.
Leaders are chosen and training begins with monthly leader meetings
and eventually the troops begin to prepare.
Parents are always welcomed and encouraged to attend these meetings.
During these meetings, patrols were formed and youth leaders elected.
In 2001 we met at Shawnee State Resort Lodge.

The bus trip, Washington DC tour and more jamboree life.
As leader meetings continued, the youth leaders also met
for specialized jamboree JLT. We met at Ohio University Chillicothe.
Two "shakedowns" are held prior to leaving.
Both are mandatory sessions and important training for participants.
Our first session was in April, regardless of weather. We met at Scioto Trail State Park for a day-long round robin training.
