Bill: As stated, Conclave is a gathering of members of the Boy Scout's
Order of the Arrow. It is primarily for training. A recent Conclave was
held at Coast Guard Island, Alameda, CA. The promotions for the program
included, "...If you like food, fun, scuba, sports, games, Indian dancing,
and pretty much anything else, then you will love conclave!...". There were
also Leadership Seminars and a tour of a 374 foot Coast Guard vessel.
Jamboree, on the other hand, is a gathering of Cub Scouts, Boy Scouts, and
Explorer Scouts to show off their Scouting skills. Locally, it is supposed
to be open to the public as a way to 'advertise' the program and encourage
membership.
The National Scout Jamboree is a gathering, or jamboree of thousands of
members of the Boy Scouts of America, usually held every four years and
organized by the National Council of the Boy Scouts of America. A jamboree
is held for several consecutive days and offers many activities for youth
participants and the 300,000 members of the general public who visit it. It
is considered to be Scouting at its best (Wikipedia). In 2010, 43,434
Scouts participated at Fort A. P. Hill, Virginia.
Now for Healey content: Future 50 is the program devoted to those future
owners of our beloved Austin Healeys. If we want to get to know the younger
generations and interest them in the Austin Healey automobiles, maybe a
Future 50 booth should be set up at the National Jamboree. ;-)
