Good Morning!
Last few days have been quite busy, and I've had limited access. We departed the Jamboree site Tuesday evening, around 7:30. This worked out to our advantage in a big way. It began to rain in A.P. Hill around 3:00 a.m. Wednesday morning, and didn't let up. Most of the rest of the troops loaded wet equipment, and got on the buses soaked. We spent the night on the road in the bus, and arrived at Mckee Scout Camp 5:00 Wednesday morning. After catching up on our sleeep, we ate lunch and enjoyed the awesome waterfront with an afternoon of swimming. We departed McKee at 7:00 a.m., and are currently on our way to St. Luis to see the Arch. Then its off to Beaumont Scout reservation to spend the night.
Our current best estimate for our arrival time in Wells on Friday is 5:00 p.m. We will begin calling when we are within 2 hours of arrival.
See you on Friday!

Jambo Days 8-9: These past two days have been extremely full ones. On Saturday the main focus of the day was our final arena show. And what a show! A message from the President, a presentation from Eagle Scout Mike Rowe (of "Dirty Jobs" fame), and performances by Honor Society and Switchfoot. The real highlight of the evening was seeing 40,000 scouts light candles, filling the arena with a flickering glow, while they rededicated themselves to scouting's ideals when they all recited the Scout Oath. Today started with worship opportunities for all scouts, and closed with finishing off merit badges, and seeing as many of the activities as possible before our departure on Wednesday. The pictures today are some scenes from those activities, and our life in camp.

Lots of good stuff, including clips and pictures from last nights arena show.
