July 13-17, 2012 - Summit Shakedown

Help us test the Summit! This is an exciting opportunity for Scouts to be among the first to camp at the Summit Bechtel Reserve and to play an important role in the final planning process for the 2013 National Scout Jamboree.

The purpose of the 2012 Summit Shakedown is to test various components of the new jamboree model on-site at the Summit with a manageable but meaningful number of staff and participants. The format will be a long weekend, starting on Friday morning, July 13, and ending on Tuesday morning, July 17.
