WashJam 2012 Ends After Successful 3 Day Run

WashJam goes to sleep for another 4 years... Good bye till next time!

Thank You Scouts & Volunteers! WashJam 2012 was a great success, thanks to the hundreds of dedicated volunteers and friends who contributed to the program, subcamp headquarters, infrastructure, registration team, security and more! At the third Washington State Jamboree, over 4,300 Cubs, Scouts, and Venturers experienced camping and lots of fun activities with Scouts from all over Washington, Oregon and British Columbia, and even as far away as Texas & Utah!
