HR 1815 EAS
(A) Section 8 of article I of the Constitution
of the United States commits exclusively to Con-
gress the powers to raise and support armies,
provide and maintain a Navy, and make rules
for the government and regulation of the land
and naval forces.
(B) Under those powers conferred by section
8 of article I of the Constitution of the United
States to provide, support, and maintain the
Armed Forces, it lies within the discretion of
Congress to provide opportunities to train the
Armed Forces.
(C) The primary purpose of the Armed
Forces is to defend our national security and
prepare for combat should the need arise.
(D) One of the most critical elements in de-
fending the Nation and preparing for combat is
training in conditions that simulate the prepa-
ration, logistics, and leadership required for de-
fense and combat.
(E) Support for youth organization events
simulates the preparation, logistics, and leader-
ship required for defending our national security
and preparing for combat.

(F) For example, Boy Scouts of America’s
National Scout Jamboree is a unique training
event for the Armed Forces, as it requires the
construction, maintenance, and disassembly of a
‘‘tent city’’ capable of supporting tens of thou-
sands of people for a week or longer. Camporees
at the United States Military Academy for Girl
Scouts and Boy Scouts provide similar training
opportunities on a smaller scale.
(2) SUPPORT.—Section 2554 of title 10, United
States Code, is amended by adding at the end the fol-
lowing:
‘‘(i)(1) The Secretary of Defense shall provide at least
the same level of support under this section for a national
or world Boy Scout Jamboree as was provided under this
section for the preceding national or world Boy Scout Jam-
boree.
‘‘(2) The Secretary of Defense may waive paragraph
(1), if the Secretary—
‘‘(A) determines that providing the support sub-
ject to paragraph (1) would be detrimental to the na-
tional security of the United States; and
‘‘(B) reports such a determination to the Con-
gress in a timely manner, and before such support is
not provided.’’.

serting ‘‘or (e)’’ after ‘‘subsection (a)’’; and
