Jet flyovers, celebrity appearances, music, dance performances, and various videos highlight Saturday’s Centennial Celebration arena show, a celebration unlike any other in jamboree history.
The arena opens at 4:30 p.m. with music from QBSA (102.9 FM) along with safety messages showing on the big screen. Pre-show begins at 5:25 p.m. with an F-15 flyover and steel drum performance by Trinidad and Tobago. T-shirt prizes will be shot out of cannons as Scouts enter the arena.
The show starts at 8 p.m. as cauldrons are lit.
Chief Scout Executive Bob Mazzuca will give a presentation, entitled “Celebrate The Future of BSA.” Highlights of the show include an appearance by Eagle Scout Mike Rowe, host of Discovery Channel’s Dirty Jobs, music from Switchfoot, and a spectacular fireworks display. The show is scheduled to end at 10:20 p.m.
Everyone attending the show needs to be properly hydrated.
Dinner on Saturday will be similar to a lunch kiosk meal. Troops and subcamp staff will receive their dinner with the breakfast delivery Saturday morning. Staff who eat at the dining halls will pick up their dinner during breakfast at their assigned dining hall. Staff who miss breakfast can pick up their dinner between 3:30 p.m. and 4:30 p.m. at Wilcox and Longstreet dining halls, or from the large truck on the south side of the Heth Schoolhouse.
