The 2013 National Scout Jamboree was the 18th national Scout jamboree held by the Boy Scouts of America from July 15, 2013 to July 24, 2013. It was the first national Scout jamboree held at the Summit Bechtel Reserve in West Virginia and the first jamboree to include Venturers as participants. Projected attendance was over 50,000 Boy Scouts, Venturers, volunteers and staff. This jamboree was operated more like a World Scout Jamboree with subcamps that promoted maximum interaction. The Summit will also be the venue of the 24th World Scout Jamboree in 2019 hence the 2013 event was intended to also be an effective test of the venue's capabilities. The 2013 Jamboree was the first in over 30 years to not be held at Fort A.P. Hill, a US Army installation that had hosted every Jamboree since 1981. ==Events== There were two shows at the 2013 Jamboree, both occurring at the Summit Center stadium. The first show, which occurred on Tuesday, July 16, 2013, titled "Welcome to West Virginia," was to feature Carly Rae Jepsen but she backed out on March 5, 2013, citing the BSA's ban on openly gay, bisexual, and transgender scouts. She announced her decision on Twitter saying, "As an artist who believes in equality for all people, I will not be participating in the Boy Scouts of America Jamboree this summer." Teenage recording artist (Sarah Centeno ) replaced Jepsen's spot in the show as well as country group (Taylor Made ). The second show, which was titled "Celebration of Scouting," occurred on Saturday, July 20, 2013, and featured Mike Rowe as the keynote speaker and rock band 3 Doors Down as the musical act. Originally, the show was to be headlined by pop rock band Train,〔https://summit.scouting.org/en/Jamboree2013/Documents/November_2012_Webinar_program_materials.pdf〕 but the band backed out on March 1, 2013, citing the BSA's ban on openly gay, bisexual, and transgender scouts.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://savemesanfrancisco.com/profiles/blogs/a-message-about-the-upcoming-boy-scouts-show )〕 The band said it would have been happy to play the show as long as the BSA "makes the right decision before then," ostensibly a reference to a potential overturn of the ban. After the BSA decision to allow openly gay scouts (but not openly gay leaders) was released on May 2013, Train did not make any statement on returning to play at the Jamboree and was replaced by 3 Doors Down, which were announced as the headliner on the social medias during the Jamboree.〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「2013 National Scout Jamboree」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
