Cash at Jamboree

There is now an opportunity to purchase gift cards that can be used at the Jamboree instead of carrying cash!

May Jamboree Journal

All the latest news that you need to know is in the May issue of the Jamboree Journal. You should have received a copy by email, but if not you can download  on at http://www.wdboyce.org/2013-national-scout-jamboree/documents-links/48550

Lunch Upon Arrival

It does not seem possible but our first meal at The Summit is just around the corner!  When we arrive Monday afternoon we'll be given a sack lunch of tuna salad, crackers, berry-apple crisp bar, mixed fruit cup, sunflower kernels, Swiss cream cookie and the only plastic bottle of water you'll receive all week.  Hopefully
they'll give us a spoon for the fruit cup!

Get Your Gear!

Hey, your Jamboree gear, like day pack, duffle bag, patches, and nametag, will all be available on or before June 15. Contact your unit leader so we know whether you want to pick up your stuff in Peoria or Bloomington. Once you get your stuff you can start some serious planning, get those patches sewn on your uniform (thanks, Mom!), and take one big step closer to July 14, when we leave for The Summit.

Quickly Fleeting

The days to Jamboree are clipping by and before you know it, 54 days to be exact, we'll be in good ol' West Virginia with 40,000 Scouts and Venturers!

The Jamboree Store

There is free shipping when you order from the Jamboree catalog! Go now and buy to your heart's desire!

Only just the beginning

Patches are HUGE at the Jamboree!  We've ordered our CSP's, there are patches in the Jamboree catalog and now the final design for the Foxtrot patch has been released.  But the patches won't stop here.  There are going to be plenty of other opportunities for patches while we're at Jamboree too.

But the Foxtrot patch will only be available to order for $3.50 prior to arrival at Jamboree.  Make an order with Ashley by May 25 to ensure you receive the first of its kind...a Venturing-specific Jamboree patch!

Before you eat...

Just like the other three high adventure programs offered through the Boy Scouts of America The Summit has its own prayer.

For this time and this place

For your goodness and grace

For each friend we embrace

We thank Thee, O Lord. 

Amen 

There's a Sale

Check out the Council Scout Shop this evening from 6-8pm for some bargains and to get what you need for the Jamboree.  There will even be a live demo or two!  Come see how easy it is to pack you Jamboree duffle with everything you'll ever need!

Never hungry

Tortellini on the stoves and super's almost ready. 

Is the boy or the backpack bigger?

The Real Deal

Jambo patch sets hsve arrived. If you,ve ordered extras, watch for news of when to get yours. You can still order, too.

Working Hard

A hard morning at the training...not really just sleepy.

The 2013 Jamboree tent...enough room for two cots, a tub and a desk.

Starting the second weekend of Jamboree Training!
