Third Day of Jamboree
First of all, I apologize for the lack of pictures on the site. We have limited places to charge the laptop and so we try to use it sparingly. Drew and I have been using the iPad to write and post all of the blog posts so far. Mrs. Burton, yes, we have been receiving the mail. All four patrols thank you for the cookies. The jamboree has been really fun so far. Most of the scouts have earned their first rocker (see picture).
The days have been very hot. Today the temperature hit 96 degrees and it was a Category 5 Black heat index. When we arrived at camp, we received a card that showed the different heat levels and how much water we should drink for each level. White is the least severe followed by white, green, yellow, red, and lastly black. The recommendation for a Category 5 Black heat index is to drink a quart of water per hour. There is an AT&T building where many scouts go to use the phones and computers to call and email home. There are also TVs with Direct TV and many of the boys hang out in there during lunch to re visit civilization.

If Troop 810 decides to go and experience Mountain Boarding, make sure to look for Mr. Brian Tyler from Troop 358/San Marino. Mr. Tyler is manning the Mountain Boarding with his daughter Jenny and son David Tyler. The forecast shows cooler temperature but don’t forget to get hydrated.. Love to hear more of your adventures and stories. Hope they will focus on Troop 810 as well as Troop 805 and 804 on Saturday’s “A Shining Light Across America”.
Please note that all the Tylers are from Crew 350, but on staff for the National Jamboree. Give my regards to them all. To go to Mountain Boarding you need to take the Red Bus shuttle or bus since it’s very far almost 8 stops and north of the campground.
