As part of the Boy Scouts of America’s 100th Anniversary, Gamehaven Scouts are invited to participate in a historic broadcast of the Centennial Celebration Show from the 2010 National Scout Jamboree, an event at Fort A. P. Hill, Virginia, that attracts more than 40,000 Scouts and Scouting volunteers from across the country.
The event marks the first time in BSA history that the entire Scouting community—past, present, and future—will have the opportunity to join together to experience an inspirational and interactive jamboree arena show, which will be broadcast via satellite to select locations nationwide and Webcast worldwide via www.ustream.tv/shininglight.
The “Shining Light” event will take place on Saturday, July 31, 2010, from 7:00 p.m. EST to 9:30 p.m. EST. A Shining Light Across America is truly a unique, once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for Scouting friends and family, and the entire Gamehaven community, to come together in celebration of Scouting, its rich heritage, exciting present, and bright future. Hundreds of “Shining Light” events will take place across the country in venues large and small on July 31 as part of the organization’s historic nationwide broadcast of the Centennial Celebration Show, which will be performed live in front of an estimated 60,000 Scouts, Scouters, and visitors at the 2010 National Scout Jamboree at Fort A. P. Hill, Virginia.
A Shining Light Across America” is one of eight major engagement programs the Boy Scouts of America is undertaking as part of its 100th Anniversary Celebration. For a century, the organization has brought families and communities together to prepare America’s youth to live, work, and play with character and integrity. The unique 100-year activities, activated at the local level, aim to drive engagement, recruit new members and volunteers, and enhance the awareness of the value of Scouting in an inspiring, purpose-driven celebration.
Scouting units, alumni, and the communities of Gamehaven Council are encouraged to participate by logging in to the live web broadcast at www.ustream.tv/shininglight in between 7:00 p.m. EST to 9:30 p.m. EST.
