In the evenings, the Order will lead the staff recreation area providing evening events, programs, and recreation for the jamboree staff.
Jamboree Trek Guide:
The Jamboree Trek is an all-day adventure beginning at the troop campsite. On each of five days of the Jamboree, 200 troops, each led by a Guide, will take a four-hour, four-mile hike to the top of Garden Ground Mountain, with interpretive program points along the way. The troops will have lunch at the top, followed by an afternoon of games and demonstrations including the OA Indian Village, Buckskin Games, Civil War presentation, etc. The day ends with a barbeque and bonfire, followed by a bus trip back to camp.
OA Service Corps:
The OA Service Corps creates an environment conducive to servant leadership, cheerful service and a memorable experience while facilitating the needs of the 2013 National Scout Jamboree. The OA Service Corps lives the obligation daily and represents the true meaning of servant leadership. The 2013 National Scout Jamboree is our time to show the nation that we are fulfilling our obligation and are putting its meaning into practice. The OA Service Corps will support many of the program and administrative areas at the Jamboree.
Day of Service Guides:
The Jamboree Day of Service is where each Scout will participate in a day of service, either in the local community, in the National River and, perhaps, on the Summit site. On each of five days of the Jamboree, 200 troops will leave their campsites for a project lasting most of the day. The Day of Service Guides will help facilitate and provide leadership to the many projects undertaken by the Scouts.
