Bill:  As stated, Conclave is a gathering of members of the Boy Scout's 
Order of the Arrow.  It is primarily for training.  A recent Conclave was 
held at Coast Guard Island, Alameda, CA.  The promotions for the program 
included, "...If you like food, fun, scuba, sports, games, Indian dancing, 
and pretty much anything else, then you will love conclave!...".  There were 
also Leadership Seminars and a tour of a 374 foot Coast Guard vessel.

Jamboree, on the other hand, is a gathering of Cub Scouts, Boy Scouts, and 
Explorer Scouts to show off their Scouting skills.  Locally, it is supposed 
to be open to the public as a way to 'advertise' the program and encourage 
membership.

The National Scout Jamboree is a gathering, or jamboree of thousands of 
members of the Boy Scouts of America, usually held every four years and 
organized by the National Council of the Boy Scouts of America.  A jamboree 
is held for several consecutive days and offers many activities for youth 
participants and the 300,000 members of the general public who visit it. It 
is considered to be Scouting at its best (Wikipedia).  In 2010, 43,434 
Scouts participated at Fort A. P. Hill, Virginia.

Now for Healey content:  Future 50 is the program devoted to those future 
owners of our beloved Austin Healeys.  If we want to get to know the younger 
generations and interest them in the Austin Healey automobiles, maybe a 
Future 50 booth should be set up at the National Jamboree.  ;-)
