The Stardust mission will be represented on the sleeves of 4,000 San Gabriel Valley boy scouts at this year's National Scout Jamboree, July 23 to August 1, 2001, at Fort A.P. Hill in Caroline County, Virginia. The San Gabriel Valley Chapter of the Boy Scouts of America has selected NASA's fourth Discovery Mission and Jet Propulsion Laboratory as the best representation of the area in which they live.

Troop patches will be traded throughout the week long event and troop members will give presentations to other scouts from across the United States about Stardust and JPL. All participating troops have designed a "gateway" or entrance into their camp site area. San Gabriel Valley troops gateway will display the Stardust spacecraft encountering Comet Wild 2, along with various Stardust ../../../images and a mission description. This year's theme for the jamboree is "Strong Values, Strong Leaders, Character Counts."
