Jamboree Shakedown Campout a Success!

Jamboree Troops 1632 and 1633 had a joint campout at Camp Wisdom this past weekend February 27-28th. It was a gorgeous day! Both troops have Scouts and Scouters from six districts. We met to get to know each other better and select youth leadership for the Jamboree The troops were split four patrols each and did an eight station round robin of challenges, puzzles, ice breakers and games. Then they held a ultimate frisbee tournament and then a Troop vs. Troop Capture the Flag game. Congrats to T1632 on a close win!
After dinner the Scouts held a campfire with skits, songs, jokes and yells while the adult leadership from each troop selected the four top youth leaders then the four patrol leaders and assistant patrol leaders. After the campfire the announcements were made. Congrats to 1632 SPL Rob, ASPL Scot, Quartermaster Rodolfo, and Scribe T.J., and for 1633 Congrats to 1633 SPL Nathan, ASPL Sergei, Quartermaster Sam and Scribe Joseph. The troops woke the next morning to breakfast and a religious service. Each patrol met to select their patrol name, totem, yell, and their patrol quartermaster, scribe, and chaplin's aide. Then it was clean up and head home.
