World Jamboree 2015 Coming to USA?
Heard an interesting, plausible possibility. Right now the BSA, along with the Scouts of Canada and the Scouts of Mexico, are scheduled to host the 2019 World Jamboree at the BSA’s new Summit site. The 2015 Jamboree is scheduled to be held in Japan. The rumor running around is that the dates will be switched as Japan may not be ready, or folks may be leery of going, to a jamboree there in 2015 due to the nuclear plant problems. Has anyone else heard this? Any truth to it?

I have not heard of this, but having never been to a world Jamboree I would be excited to potentially go.

That seems a highly unlikely rumor. The camp site is at the other side of Japan. It would be like cancelling a World Jamboree in New York because of the oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico. As far as Japan not being ready, there are four years to go. They could get it done even if they had not start preparations by now.
