Scout bands have been making great music at Scout Jamborees
ever since Baden-Powell coined the word "Jamboree" and organized
the First World Scout Jamboree in London, England back in 1920.

Mark Stephens put together the 2010 National Jamboree Band website. Thanks, Mark.
Jeff Kitzman took a lot of the pictures - which probably explains why he appears in so few of them.
That's the common fate of photographers. He also put together the slide show. Thanks, Jeff.

Great job, soloists! Take a bow!
