We've been here seven days...

And there so much more that we want to do. Over the next couple of days, many of the guys will be headed to the Merit Badge Midway. Others will be going to the exhibits and activities that they haven't had a change to get to.

Today, the Scouts went to church services and enjoyed fellowship in the relatively cool weather. The the Scouts went out to the Action Centers.

One thing I forgot to mention about last night's show was the introduction of The Summit in West Virginia. This will be the permanent location of the National Scout Jamboree (starting in 2013), as well as a High Adventure Base, leadership training location, summer camp, and a host of other activities. It was very exciting and interesting to see. That's only 3 years away.

We still do not have a time for load up on Wednesday, but when I know, I'll let everyone else know.

100th Anniversary Arena Show

After a nice French toast breakfast the guys took off to enjoy the morning activities. They were all over the Jamboree.

Starting at about 2pm, the Scouts started trickling back into the campsite to clean up to get ready for the arena show. They saw the Army special forces parachute jump team, Mike Rowe (from Dirty Jobs), special messages from many people, especially one from President Obama. And the biggest fireworks display on any military base. We were lucky to have the rain hold off until we got back to camp, so everyone stayed dry.
