Jamboree Update

Harry and Brian were on a Jamboree Scoutmaster Conference Call last week for Subcamp 16 at Jamboree. One important note from the conference call -

Any questions or needs on Jamboree Medical forms will be emailed direct to each Scout/Parent's email on file with their myscouting.org account. This is the account every member created to register for the Jamboree last Summer. Harry and Brian made sure every form was complete and every page had the Scout's bar code. That said, please let us know if you receive an email from Jamboree Medical.

The Council Jamboree Shakedown is next weekend, Saturday May 1 and Sunday May 2 at Camp Wisdom. Please pack for a normal overnight campout. Please do not bring a tent.

Please arrive at Camp Wisdom by 9am. Carpooling is encouraged. Every Scout should eat breakfast before they arrive. Saturday lunch, dinner and Sunday breakfast are provided. Please plan on having all Scouts leave at 12 noon on Sunday. Sunday lunch is not provided.

The eight Jamboree adult leaders will arrive at Camp Wisdom Friday afternoon April 30th and will meet everyone Saturday morning.

This is a mandatory campout to attend the Jamboree. It is a National requirment of every Council contingent. All fourteen troops from Circle Ten will be camping at Wisdom this weekend.

Please arrive in full uniform. We will be taking pictures of every Scout.

During the weekend we will set up camp in the same campsite formation we will use at the Jamboree. We will test our equipment and how our combined dining area will work. We will work on our camp gateway and sleep in the same tents we will use at Jamboree. We will have a blast doing it!

The shakedown is part of your Jamboree Fee. We will not collect additional money for the shakedown.

We will hold our last Troop meeting for 1632 and 1633 Monday May 17 at 7pm at St. Andrews Presbyterian Church on Skillman in East Dallas. This is the same location as the previous two troop meetings. 3204 Skillman Street, Dallas TX 75214.

Please check out our google group and our blog http://jamboree2010.blogspot.com/ for updates and Jamboree information.

We leave for Jamboree in 92 days! It is getting closer!! Can you feel the excitement??!
