The Sioux Council will be sending a contingent to the 2005 National Scout Jamboree at Fort A.P. Hill, Virginia, to a once in a lifetime opportunity. The Jamboree Program is filled with various programs that reflects 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, scuba, kayak fun, racing shell, and raft encounters. Our region area include an action center of 10 activities.
