Jamboree By the Numbers

If you wonder why you felt you were part of something REALLY BIG at Jamboree, it's because you were! More than 30,000 youth and adult participants were there at The Summit, plus staff, plus visitors!  Here's a story that puts those numbers into perspective as it relates to BSA membership.

While you're here, look to the left of the sound and light tower in the photo. That big patch of orange? I'd be willing to bet that's us, making our mark!

Jamboree in the News!

This article appeared in the most recent issue of the Morton Courier, and will likely also appear in the Courier newspapers in Washington and Eureka (Woodford County). Check it out! Now everybody here at home knows about the Day of Service and the great times at Jamboree!

What about those defective day packs?

Now that you've had a shower (I hope) and a good night's rest, I thought the time was right to contact you about the day packs that many of you had trouble with at Jamboree. Mr. Howard has contacted the supplier and feels confident that we will be able to get replacements, but he would like to provide them with evidence of how the product failed to hold up. So, if you have a pack that is torn or ripped in any way, please take a picture of the defect and send it to Mr. Howard. He will gather them all together and send them to the supplier some time next week. Do it now, while you're thinking about it.

Email your pictures to jkhoward8@gmail.com.

We'll keep you updated on what we hear from the supplier. Thanks for your help with this!
