You will not want to miss the museum that will showcase historical documents, patches, videos, Scouting memorabilia, news articles and photographs that capture Scouting in the Middle Tennessee from 1920-2021.

Participants will enjoy separate (one for Cub Scouts and one for Scouts BSA/Venturers) exciting fun packed arena shows on Saturday evening at the amphitheater.

And…yes, there will be food vendors with hamburgers, hot dogs, pizza, tacos, funnel cakes, soft drinks and ICEES.  The Nashville Association of Food Trucks has agreed to attend the Jamboree on Saturday with a variety of food choices.  Units may wish to plan their meals for Saturday with this in mind.

National Youth Leadership Training

National Youth Leadership Training (NYLT) is an exciting, action-packed program designed to provide youth members of the Boy Scouts of America with leadership skills and experiences that they can use in their home unit and in other situations demanding quality leadership.  This training integrates the best of modern leadership theory with Scouting through activities, presentations, challenges, while engaged in a unified approach to leadership.  Using a wide range of activities, events, games and adventure, participants put into action the leadership skills they are learning.

Our first course for 2021 concluded on Friday, June 4 with 35 Scouts completing this session.  The week provided the Scouts with learning new things, facing challenges, and making friends for life.  Each Scout had the opportunity to serve in a leadership role in their patrol throughout the week. 

Our second course scheduled for July 25-July 30 is full at this time, however we encourage those interested to sign up for the waitlist.  There is a possibility that we may have an opening come available.   If you have any questions, please contact Ron Turpin at rturpin@mtcbsa.org.
