Invitation to 2011 USA Scouter Tour

San Diego Scouts are invited to participate in USA Scouter Tour 2011, an 8-day excursion to Denmark and Sweden with a day at the World Jamboree in Sweden. To read about each of the stops on the tour, click travel itinerary. For a brief summary of the tour, click overview. To make a reservation click registration form. This is not an official BSA tour and is completely separate from the BSA national contingent going to the World Jamboree. This is a completely different option to attend the World Jamboree in Sweden. The USA Scouter Tour is an 8-day adventure at a somewhat lower cost. The USA Scouter Tour will visit the World Jamboree on August 2. The contingent is now closed.
