Winterfest

Winterfest 2010 

Last year more than 2,600 people attended, with some coming from as far away as Boston, Massachusetts, and Reno, Nevada.  With more than 3,500 people expected this year, I know your Venturers will have a blast competing and meeting others from all over the United States.
 
We have created a website just for Winterfest.  Point your favorite web browser at www.bsawinterfest.org to get all the latest, greatest information for the best, biggest, and most fun Venturing activity in the United States.
 
Feel free to download the information as needed for your unit.  If you need to have a copy mailed to you, please call or e-mail Amy Garrett at the Jefferson Service Center (800-699-8806 or agarrett@bsamail.org) at your convenience.

(subject to change – the final agenda will be posted on
