Our first full day at the Jamboree.
We woke up early, but not early enough. It took 90 minutes to get our breakfast and lunch food. Obviously, we'll need to do better at getting started in the morning!!!
After breakfast, the boys scattered throughout the Summit. Some went to the activity centers while many others got immediately involved in patch trading. If you've never been to a Jamboree, patch trading is a MAJOR attraction!!!
I went exploring with some of the other scoutmasters who are here with the Hudson Valley Council troops. We walked a lot, and it was really hot! We spent most of the day away from our camp site, and didn't return until late in the afternoon. The boys started returning with stories of bold patch trades, activity adventures and more.
We made dinner, and after cleaning up, many of the boys resumed patch trading activities, while others played Ultimate Frisbee and others played cards and other things.
The Summit really is an amazing place. We're trying to encourage the boys to enjoy the activities and do their patch trading at night.
Tomorrow, about two-thirds of our scouts will be going whitewater rafting. That should be a lot of fun!!!
