National Jamboree Day 4 - Campsites & Setup

I found a place where I can blog. My Kindle Fire, which I had been blogging on will not connect to ATT.

All is well. We arrived at the jamboree and waited in a long line of buses. We were told there were 500 buses per hour arriving. We were issued lunch to carry with us to our site and then two guides escorted us to medical check in.

Cooking at the campsite

We had to wait on the bus for about 40 minutes for 4 of our guys to get checked due to problems with their medical forms. We were issued an all clear by medical.

We exited the bus and took a short hike down a gravel road. We set up our site, two boys to a tent, each boy has a cot. In the middle of our campsite we set up two dining canopies and all of our cooking gear. We have five picnic tables under our canopies for everyone to sit at.

Our site is located right next to the restrooms. Being so close is great for getting water, not so great for the traffic and light shining on some of the tents. My vote on the site is still out. Another positive to our site is we have the most shade. We start getting shade from trees around 5:30 PM.

Our lunch for the day was crackers and tuna, cookies, sunflower seeds, and a few other similar items. The meal was typical for the trail. Supper was chicken breast, mashed potatoes, corn on the cob, cole slaw, juice, and rice crispy treats. I have not heard a complaint from any of the scouts about food.

After lunch several of the boys went walking around meeting new scouts and trading patches. Bed check was 9:30 pm, lights out was at 10 pm and I didn't hear much after that. I had to climb in my sleeping bag around midnight due to temperature dropping.
