2017 BSA National. Jamboree. Day 1 - July 17, 2017

The morning started bright and early. Everyone met in the parking lot at Woodbury Common and the "check-in" process started.

It went very smoothly. Once everyone was checked in, and the bags were loaded. We boarded the buses and off we went right on schedule at 9:00.

It was really quiet on the bus. 

At around 12:30, we stopped at a shopping center near Harrisburg, PA for lunch. There were lots of options to choose from, and the boys all went off to find their preferred option.

We got back on the buses at 1:30 and continued on our way. Things were a little louder on the bus now, at least for a little while. After a brief unscheduled rest stop, we continued on our way, passing through Maryland and ultimately into West Virginia.

Next up was a dinner stop at a shopping center in Morgantown, WV. Once again, there were lots options to choose from and everyone went off to find what they wanted.

After boarding the buses after dinner, we continued on the final leg of our journey to Lewis County High School, our home for the next two nights. A few minutes before we reached our exit, the other two buses split off from us on the way to their destinations.

When we arrived at the high school, we were met by a woman from the Lewis County Commission who welcomed us to Lewis County and took us into the school. They had some snacks and drinks waiting for us ... pepperoni rolls, a West Virginia favorite, and some chips. After showing us around a little, the boys went off to have some fun. Some of them went up to the football field to play frisbee, while others played cards and had some fun with their Star Wars props in the school.


At 10:30, it was lights out to get ready for tomorrow's service project. We will be painting a fence at Lewis County Park.
