Adventure Base 100

 

 

In celebration of the organization’s 100th anniversary, the National BSA is bringing a truly unique and interactive experience to our area, the Adventure Base 100.

Created specifically for the Boy Scouts of America’s 100th Anniversary Celebration, Adventure Base 100 is traveling the country to rally people of all ages to take part in “Celebrating the Adventure, Continuing the Journey.”


Adventure Base 100 is a unique, interactive 10,000-square-foot campus featuring immersive and exciting Scout-related experiences to provide a hands-on view of the Boy Scouts of America’s 100 year history and the difference Scouting has made in the lives of millions of youth.


Starting in January at the Tournament of Roses in Pasadena, Calif., and ending in November in New York City, Adventure Base 100 will be rolling into more than 40 markets across the country. It will be in Sacramento from Thursday, January 21 to Sunday, January 24th. This is a joint effort with all the Bay Area Councils.
Adventure Base 100 will be located at the Cal Expo and will include:

  • A high adventure ropes course for all visitors more than 4 feet tall weighing less than 250 pounds.
  • A multi-sensory experience that will offer visitors the sights, smells and sounds of Scouting via the campus IMAX-like video “Go! Dome.”
  • An opportunity to interact with VIPs including
  • A stage show featuring [music, demonstrations, contests and trivia.
  • A knot tying challenge
  • A contest featuring giveaways
  • An overview about what it takes to become an Eagle Scout, the highest level of Scouting.
  • A chance to speak with members of Local Councils to learn more about Scouting.
  • A traveling Scouting museum featuring an overview of the Boy Scouts of America’s amazing history, including a display of rare artifacts collected by the organization over the last 100 years.

We Need Volunteers!

 

The Mt. Diablo Silverado Council needs to provide volunteers to help provide manpower. This is the same weekend as the Council’s LEAD Training so it will be really helpful for volunteers who are not attending the training to volunteer. If you are interested in volunteering at the Adventure Base, please look at these job descriptions and then fill out this form and submit it to Dave Ishikawa as soon as possible. The MDSC contact is Valerie Ridgers 925-674-6155 or email.
