The End of Jamboree Pictures

Parent and Scouts:

These are the last of the pictures. Note that your boys can upload their best shots to these same galleries of pictures for us all to enjoy. Also, should your scouts be interested, they can take any of these pictures and/or others they captured and create shrot 3-4 minute vignettes that tell a story from the camp/tour and they can share them with us at the reunion or online in these Flickr galleries. That would fulfill merit badge requirements for Communications and Cinematography.

In any case have the boys describe the various stories behind these pictures as a way of sharing this experience with your families.

Enjoy!

National Jamboree pictures

We have gotten so many great photos here at the jamboree that it is taking multiple albums to get all of the pictures together. Here are the first two.

From the Summit

Sorry for the delay in getting information out about what we have been up to out here.

We have been running around exploring the summit having a grand old time that before we know it, it is time to get some shut eye.

So here is a run down of the past few days.

Monday we arrived at the check in location around two o'clock and made it to our camp site by three thirty, and started setting up the camp. Honestly that was way faster than we thought it would be. Other than it being the hottest day since we started this grand adventure it was a good day.

Tuesday was the kick off of the jamboree and we started the day off with a show in the arena. After that we sent the boys out to explore the jamboree. The funny part of that was the boys have grown so accustomed to being with and follow the leaders they hesitated to take off by themselves (in buddies) when we told them to go have fun. The day ended with all of the boys making it back to camp at the designated time safe and sound.

Wednesday we participated in the day of service. Getting there was a grand adventure it self never a good sign when you are given barf bags for the trip. The directions given to the bus driver were either incomplete or incorrect because it took us an hour and two U turns to get to our destination that was only 20 minutes away. When we finally arrived at our drop off site we found out that we would be cutting a new hiking and biking trail. The boys worked hard and did a great job.
