A few pics from Jambo

A few pictures Ian took at National Boy Scout Jamboree (called JAMBO by the boys) Fort AP Hill Virginia. This was the last year it was held at this location. In 2013 it moves to a new high advenutre scout camp, called The Summit Bechtel Family National Scouting Reserve (the 'Summit') which is being made due to the single largest donation ever given to the BSA!

Ian hopes to make the Jamboree a twice in a lifetime experience by attending Jambo in 2013. (With talk of diving at high adventure SeaBase in Florida in 2012 also, I see more garage sales in our future). Ian even was throwing out the idea of WORLD JAMBOREE held in Europe, but that will take some serious family discussions! :)

I am hoping Ian will write a synopsis of his trip, but here are some hightlights he talked about:
Running the Jamboree 5K. He came in 5th in his troop.
Trading patches
The shooting range, he stood in line 3 times to participate
Canoe racing and Dragon boating (Several canoes tied together)
Ian got a great compliment from one of the troop leaders that his patrol did the best job of getting stuff done correctly and working together!
