Transatlantic Council Troop Jamboree 2010

Dear Parents and Family,

Well yesterdays events in the mighty jungle of D.C. left our Troop sweaty and tired. We had an exciting trip to many of the wonderful museums that D.C. had to offer. We all began at the Aerospace Museum where we were al marveled by the impressive collection of plances, and rockets. After we were done there some of our patrols slipped away to go see “The Stones” at the Museum of Natural History.While others decided to join the Pow Wow at the National Native American Museum. Where we saw some interesting information about some of the lesser known tribes. After we had indulged ourselves in interesting information we moved on to tour the Capitol building. There we saw some cool statues and one of them was even a relative of our Scoutmaster.After that we visited the Iwo Jima Memorial and got some cool Troop pictures. After we were all done baking for the day we headed back for camp. All in all we had a good first day together. Few mess ups and very few bumps in our schedule. Jamboree here we COME!

Hello Parents/Family Members,

Everyone has arrived well, and alive. Luckily no accidents or mishaps yet. Operation Pick-Up and Go went along smoothly with little to no delays. After taking a 8-9 hour flight most of the scouts were exhausted, but were ready to go after a good pizza dinner at the Pre-Jamboree Campout here at Prince William Forrest. After we were all fed and ready for bed, we went around to our cabins and began setting up for our first hot and humid night. Aside from the spiders, snakes, and possible Black Bear we all slept fine. The crickets did a good job giving us a warm welcome that night. The next two days we will be visiting downtown D.C. looking at history, and statues. Then on Sunday we will be in a parade celebrating 100 years of scouting. We will  be doing this with about 40,000 other scouts and scouters. You can catch us on any of the local news channels, or on CNN. As well as many other news channels. So now its a giant game of “Wheres Waldo” but with 138 Troop Contingent. We’ll will keep up with these updates throughout the next week and a half. Scouts send their love amidst all the fun here.

Sincerely,

Troop 138 Scribe, and Webmaster
