Fourth Day of Jamboree

Today, we started a bit later. I had a discussion with Sir Link and we agreed that since all the activities don’t open until 0900, we should delay the wakeups until 0630.  Some of the kids woke up in a rush and came running to me when I was outside my tent asking if they woke up late. It was kind of reassuring that some of the scouts woke up and got up on their own. We went off to work on our Outback Rocker. Some of the scouts were not yet done with their Action Center Rocker.  Around noon, it started thundering and a downpour started. Many scouts tried to get to cover and get back to camp. Andrew, Jordan, David, and I jumped on the yellow bus and were on our way back. There were so many people there that we had to stand in the isle of the bus. When we got back to camp, we found out that the big canopies that are over our eating areas had blown over and were in the next campsite over. We heard over the loudspeakers that the storm was just ten miles away. We fixed the rain canopies and hung out everything to dry. We got everything ready to go for the next wave and bunkered down. After the storm was over, we went out and showered and got ready for bed.
