National Applications

Please, if you have not already done so visit the National Website and fill out the National Jamboree application.  You all should have received a letter with instructions to do so and how to do it.  This needs to be done as soon as possible.   There are many Jamboree functions that count on this application being completed.
The new Jamboree medical forms will be sent to the individual Scouts.  These forms will be generated from the application.  
Once your application is completed you must turn it in to one of the Scout leaders from the Jamboree Troop.
We need to turn it in the council for you.
Thanks for your cooperation in this matter.

Have a great Scouting Day!

So whats with the Light house and the First Aid merit Badge?
Well... this year the Jamboree committee looked at the themes of Jamboree and came up with Advancement and Landmarks.  These will appear on our JSP (Jamboree Shoulder Patch).  Our Troop will wear the Cape Meres Lighthouse, on the patch will appear the First Aid Merit Badge.
Troop 720 is in one of three groups.  The Groups that make up the contingent.  The border of our patch will be Red signifying the group we are in.  The red border Troops represent "Service".
The picture attached to this post is a draft of what our JSP will look like.
We will talk more about patches and how we will be getting them soon.
Again, this is going to be great!!!
Have a Great Scouting Day!
