[1] The 2005 National Scout Jamboree was divided into 20 sub-camps, named after living American explorers.

The show also featured a staff barbecue and a speech from the Chief Scout Executive, as well as a preview for what was to come during the rest of the week.

The trip to and from the second arena show earned the moniker "the death march" among scouts attending the jamboree due to the distances scouts were required to travel in extreme heat, from the Bataan Death March experienced by American POWs in the Pacific theater of WWII.

[citation needed] The final show set a jamboree record for the most attendance.

[citation needed] President Bush did speak at the third show regarding the importance of Scouting.

Jim Fowler, as well as other numerous dignitaries visited and spoke during the closing show.

When the audience grew restless over the lame production it was decided to terminate that part of the program.

United States Surgeon General Richard Carmona took part in this run.

Contractors were hired to assist in the setting up of a large tent in one of the sub-camps at the Jamboree.
