Adventure Base 100
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.
