Greater Pittsburgh Council

Created specifically for the 100th Anniversary Celebration, Adventure Base 100 will be travelling the country to give people an exciting, hands-on view of the history and future of the Boy Scouts of America. Locally, the Pittsburgh stop will be held at the Three Rivers Arts Festival at Point State Park on June 4-13, 2010.
When people enter the campus, their contact information and other data will be collected. Our hope is to engage them in Scouting beyond the Adventure Base 100 experience. Volunteers and programming ideas for the campus’ stage will be needed, so please contact Amy Franz at (412) 325-7910 or Amy.Franz@Scouting.org to learn how you can be a part of something great in Pittsburgh!
