News for scouts, leaders and families on the 2010 National Scout Jamboree
All three troops came together for the final step of their Jamboree journey to unload the trailer. All gear was removed and taken to storage for the next Jamboree in 2013 at The Summit.
The boys retrieved their footlockers and duffle bags to take home and empty of all their Jamboree booty……..and dirty clothes. Word to the wise, open them in the garage.
started to rain at 4 am and we mobilized to a big staff canopy with several other troops. waiting for the buses now — its a heavy rain now — and working to figure out how to best get buses boys and gear all to the right spot.
so weve packed the truck except for a few things to throw on in the morning. now we’re just trying to settle down and stay clean with a massive game of ultimate frisbee. i hope theyll get showers…

one full day to go so the boys are finishing up and thinking about the ride home — and not stinking up the plane!
actually, theyre just about all worn out. and everyones excited to go home, they just dont want to pack…
This morning there were probably almost 50 different opportunities to worship with other Scouts across the Jamboree. Our Subcamp 20-21 had 2 and there was another service about 150 yards away from our subcamp HQ.
The service put on by the United Methodist Church(also Scouting’s largest Charter partner in number of Scouts registered) was right behind our staff area.
Several of the Scouts from our Troops attended worship there. It was a good service, but it is also very different when you are in church with a hot sun beating down on your neck than in a nice air-conditioned building – as you can see from some of the below photos…
Look--even in the grass, they still have Sunday bulletins!
This cross is decorated with mosquito nets in reference to the nothingbutnets.net campaign to wipe out malaria!
in a heated tournament that included more than 25 teams from our subcamp, a team from 2135 came out on top against the short-short wearing bad sports from florida. here’s a pic of the victorious duo. they’re off to the regional tourney tomorrow night. we’ll have lots of LFC guys there to cheer them on!
tinkers third herd (air traff ctrl) has a group of guys here with their mini-tower doing air traff ctrl for the jambo skies. they invited our scouts down for a tour of their equipment, so we had a couple of them over as guests for dinner. MSgt Gracey and A1C Gordon came by and ate/visited with the boys. kids really enjoyed it.
when i have run into our kids out there ive taken their pic. here’s that handful of pics. guess which boys were coming out of the girl scout exhibit?
