Over 6,000 adults and youth who will serve as staff for the Jamboree have arrived on site. Meals are served in the Camp's Echo Dining Hall. Our Sub Camp Alpha is a 30 minute bus ride away from Camp Echo. We will continue to ride the bus for Breakfast and Dinner (staff lunches are picked up during the Breakfast meal) until the opening day of the Jamboree- at that point our team will then rotate eating with the Scout Troops in our Sub Camp.
While at dinner tonight I ran into Wayne Brock- Chief Scout Executive. Wayne is the highest professional leader of the Boy Scouts of America Movement. I consider him not only a mentor but friend. I had the privilege of serving with Wayne as his Director of Field Service (COO) when he was Scout Executive for the Central Florida Council in Orlando, Fl.
There are 2 days until the arrival of the Scouts and the official start of the Jamboree. All of our Sub Camp Staff have checked in except for 2. Tomorrow is a full day of planning and briefing. We are well along in our logistical set up and in less than 48 hours- we will welcome 2,100 Scouts and their leaders to our Sub Camp to begin the Jamboree.
That is it for now, more to follow, Jamboree Jack
