Adventure Base 100 – Volunteers Needed!
Date: Thursday, January 21-24, 2010
Location: Cal Expo, Sacramento, CA
In celebration of the organization’s 100th anniversary, the National BSA is bringing a truly unique and interactive experience to our area, the Adventure Base 100.
Created specifically for the Boy Scouts of America’s 100th Anniversary Celebration, Adventure Base 100 is traveling the country to rally people of all ages to take part in “Celebrating the Adventure, Continuing the Journey.”
Adventure Base 100 is a unique, interactive 10,000-square-foot campus featuring immersive and exciting Scout-related experiences to provide a hands-on view of the Boy Scouts of America’s 100 year history and the difference Scouting has made in the lives of millions of youth.
Starting in January at the Tournament of Roses in Pasadena, Calif., and ending in November in New York City, Adventure Base 100 will be rolling into more than 40 markets across the country. It will be in Sacramento from Thursday, January 21 to Sunday, January 24th. This is a joint effort with all the Bay Area Councils. Adventure Base 100 will be located at the Cal Expo.
We Need Volunteers!
The Mt. Diablo Silverado Council needs to provide volunteers to help provide manpower. This is the same weekend as the Council’s LEAD Training so it will be really helpful for volunteers who are not attending the training to volunteer. If you are interested in volunteering at the Adventure Base, please look at these job descriptions and then fill out this form and submit it to Dave Ishikawa as soon as possible. The MDSC contact is Valerie Ridgers 925-674-6155 or email.

The BSA 100th Anniversary tour will travel the country to rally people of all ages to join the BSA in “Celebrating the Adventure, Continuing the Journey.” Through interactive experiences, demonstrations, activities, and more, visitors will have an exciting and inspiring view of the history and future of the Boy Scouts of America.
Adventure Base 100 will enable the Boy Scouts of America to directly connect with millions of families across the country and invite them to join us in celebrating the adventure, and continuing our journey. The18-wheeler will travel from coast to coast, telling the story of Scouting at each stop. After passing through the dramatic entrance with its rustic archway, visitors to AB100 will be greeted by a sprawling campus of BSA-branded structures and activities:
- Traveling Lodge. This double-wide tractor’ trailer provides more than 1,000 square feet of immersive, multi-sensory Scout-related experiences.
- Go Dome. This multi-sensory, surround-sound, surround-vision immersion dome transports visitors to environments that epitomize the Scouting experience.
- Thrill Wall. Visitors will scale new heights on the outdoor rock climbing wall.
- Information/Recruitment Tent. This prominently placed opportunity will encourage non-Scouts to join Scouting and recruit adults to become BSA volunteers.
- Sponsor Tent(s). Key 100th Anniversary sponsors will be able to promote their partnership with the BSA and showcase products or social responsibility efforts (within defined parameters).
- BSA Store Tent. Visitors can purchase 100th Anniversary memorabilia and patches.
AB100 will make stops in 30 to 50 of the nation’s largest markets. Stops will coordinate with major cultural, community, or Scouting events that already draw large crowds. From the tour’s beginning at the Tournament of Roses festivities in January 2010 to the nation’s capitol in time for the National Jamboree, AB100 promises a fully interactive experience for millions. A tour stop is tentatively scheduled in Central Florida, in Daytona Beach, to coincide with the Daytona 500. The complete tour schedule can be found HERE.
