For Scouts and parents trying to decide what they get fo the money and effort, consider this.  My son, Eric, is a T125 Eagle Scout and attended National Jambo several years ago.  The council does a good job of organizing, almost always with some extra days in the Washington, D.C. area in advance, with opportunities to see sites like the Smithsonian, Arlington Cemetery, FBI facilities and likely a Six Flags type of amusement park.   At the Jambo you meet many thousands of scouts from around the world and there are hundreds of activities.  While it's usually hot, there are cool-down stations, water events and more.  Often the President stops by.  Be sure to take a bunch of local patches to trade.  You'll gain lots of good Scouting memories.  As Mr. Scarlatelli said, registered adult leaders can apply.
