Fort A. P. Hill, located in the rolling hills of Caroline County,
Virginia, near the towns of Fredericksburg and Bowling Green is an ideal
facility to hold this major national Scout jamboree.
This 76,000-acre U.S. Army facility has served as the permanent site
for the national Scout jamboree since 1981. The Boy Scouts of America uses
approximately 3,000 acres of land to support a city of more than 40,000
Scouts and leaders.

Program features reflect the skills of Scouting, our national heritage,
physical fitness, environmental conservation, and the true spirit of
Scouting.
Daily activities include archery, bikathlon, buckskin games, confidence
course, conservation programs, scuba, kayak fun, racing shell run, and
raft encounters.
Regional action centers with rappelling towers are truly popular, as
are trap shooting, an American Indian village, and the opening and closing
arena shows, not to mention daily stage shows and many other activities.
It's Scouting and American history at their very best!

The 2005 National Scout Jamboree will attract thousands of Scouts and
leaders, and while it won't be the biggest city in Virginia, it will be
the fastest growing on your day of arrival—July 25, 2005! Imagine 17,000
tents and 3,500 patrol kitchens popping up in a matter of hours.
Amid the thousands of colorful tents that will house participants and
provide program and support services, there is an infrastructure that
provides a safe and secure environment at Fort A. P. Hill. Everything from
bus and telephone systems to a hospital and first-aid stations, police and
fire departments, post offices, food warehouses, a daily newspaper, and
retail stores (trading posts) provide all the support and program services
needed for an outstanding event.
