Busy day today with our team preparing for the arrival of Scouts on Monday. Much of the day was spent in briefings to understand our role in arrival, troop set-up, logistics, meal distribution and the important program schedules for each of the Scouts who attend. Early in the afternoon, I was able to get out and about to preview the site.
Jamboree Organization- There are 5 Base Camps housed throughout the Jamboree. Within each Base Camp is 5 Sub Camps. Each Sub Camp is separated by neighborhoods that can house 10 Scout Troops. Each Scout Troop will have 36 Scouts and 4 leaders. Our Sub Camp will have 50 Scout Troops- 2,000 Scouts/Leaders.
Hope you enjoy the pictures.
