Kind Brothers and Sisters, the Booshway and Staff of the 2004 Great North American Rendezvous wish to again invite you to share with us the shinin’ times and natural beauty this rendezvous has to offer.

The 1756 British Fort Loudoun is located one (1) mile east of the village of Fort Loudon, in South Central Pennsylvania.  This Fort was constructed on Forbes Road and served as a supply depot for the British forces.  The Conococheague Creek (ok for swimming) runs on the park property.  It is our fond wish that you will honor us with your presence.  Per Main Counsel vote, a portion of the profits will be donated to Fort Loudoun projects

There will be no membership required in any National Organization to attend this rendezvous.  Every paid adult in attendance shall have the right to vote and speak at all council meetings on all camp issues. Insurance for this event is provided through the National Rifle Association (NRA).
