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.
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!
Had a great day Saturday. The Arena show was incredible and many of the Scouts are working hard to earn their rockers, little oaths that surround the Jambo patch on their uniform. All of them are having fun. Lots of shooting sports, BMX bikes, National exhibits and much more.

What do you mean, "I'm the stake"???
Sorry it’s taken me a few days to get these pics up….just got wifi back late yesterday! Here are some pics I took of the boys settin up camp.
This is what we'll have to do if the poles blow away...
Troop 2137 wants to send a HUGE thank you to Troop 2142. The bathrooms we were provided were completely trashed by some less than Scout like kids. They spent at least two hours cleaning about 16 – 20 shower stall. Very classy move on their part. Kudos!!
A first for this blog. Here’s our first video upload thanks to a quick upgrade made “in the field.”

He recorded a parachute landing during the opening arena show.
After a long day of driving to and setting up camp, our little home is finally complete. Weather is great and the boys were excited to get to go explore Jamboree for the day. Lots if activity in front of our Gateway. It attracts attention as does our cool patches. They are making lots of friends already. Will get to take mire pics today.
After a great day afternoon at Fords Theater and the Myseum of Natural History, we all have clean clothes and are on our way the Jamboree.
