We the undersigned believe that allowing the Boy Scout Jamboree to come to Goshen Pass will forever damage this most scenic and natural resource in Rockbridge County and not provide more than minimal economic benefit to the County and communities that would suffer all of the impact. Potential damaging factors include: * Basic human impact of 250,000 visitors in a confined natural area * Wildlife impact * Inadequate transportation routes for expected traffic * Water quality degradation * Too much human waste * Groundwater depletion

The roads cant handle that kind of traffic. Its a disaster waiting to happen for locals trying to get to work.

Too much trash and waste. Our water quality is way more important than some jamboree.

SHAME ON THE COUNTY for even thinking about this. Once its torn up we cant get it back.

This is ridiculous. Leave the nature alone for once! Why do they have to ruin everything?

Keep the scouts out. Goshen Pass is a treasure and 250,000 people will absolutely destroy the land. It doesnt belong to them.

The environmental damage here is gonna be permanent. Not worth the headache or the fake economic boost.
