What is Space Jamboree?
The Space Jamboree Workshop (or just Space Jam for short), is the midwest's largest technology oriented gathering of all Boy Scouts and Girl Scouts. Put on by Crew 272 of Fountain County, IN, and Troop 17 of Champaign, IL, Space Jam is about fun with a purpose: we would love to see Scouts go on to become scientists, engineers, entrepreneurs, teachers, musicians, technicians, and much more. We want to continue and develop excellence in teaching and share what we learn. Boy Scouts, Girl Scouts, and Webelos are all welcome.
Space Jam 17 takes place August 4th-5th 2023 at the Rantoul IL, Airport in Rantuol, IL. Here's a list of the activities planned for this year. This year's featured merit badges will be "Sparking Creativity" in honor of our newest merit badge "Welding". This list is still being updated...
