Yosemite's Scouting Jamboree

"Yosemite's Scouting Jamboree" Webring
Now open to all GeoCitizens!!!!!!

[Note: Also read disclaimer at bottom of this page!]

The Yosemite neighborhood would like to recognize all the dedicated Scouting children and adults within any GeoCities neighborhood. Numerous sites depict a wide range of outdoor activites these members are involved in: day-hikes, tent camping, backpacking, skiing, snowshoeing, wilderness survival and so on.

In an effort to allow visitors within our GeoCities community explore these webpages, we have developed a webring called "Yosemite's Scouting Jamboree." Anyone familiar with Scouting should recognize the term "jamboree" (#see bottom of this page). But for those who are not, basically, it's a gathering which brings together Scouts of all age levels and adult Scouting volunteers, both nationally and internationally, for a very unique experience. It's a celebration of what our youth can achieve within the Scouting organization, and beyond. Suffice to say, there are many, many famous people who spent their youth as members of Boy Scouts and Girl Scouts.

Therefore, the purpose and intent of forming the "Yosemite's Scouting Jamboree" webring is a celebration, a coming together, for fun, to receive tips, to view pictures of outdoor activities, and to share in the joy of a youngster accomplishing what may have seemed to be impossible.

#jamboree: Webster's definition: a noisy or unrestrained carouse, a large festive gathering, a long mixed program of entertainment......think you get the idea of the "jamboree" feeling we want to capture with this webring!
