Fort A.P. Hill, Caroline County, Virginia

Location

Since 1981 the National Scout jamboree has been held at Ft. AP Hill in the rolling hills of Caroline County, Virginia, near the towns of Fredericksburg and Bowling Green. The installation was named in honor of Lt. General Ambrose Powell Hill, a Virginia native who distinguished himself as a Confederate commander. This 76,000-acre U.S. Army facility has served as the permanent site for the National Scout Jamboree.

National Scouts Jamboree History

Sir Robert Baden-Powell, founder of the Scouting movement, created the idea of holding a large encampment of Scouts and leaders to celebrate Scouting in England. He called it a jamboree.

Since 1937, the Boy Scouts of America has held National Scout Jamborees for Scouts and leaders of Boy Scout councils throughout the United States. Nearly 600,000 Scouts and leaders have hiked the trails, paths, and roadways since the first jamboree was held at the base of the Washington Monument on the Mall in our nation's capital.
