WHOOOO!
In April 2010, our troop participated in the Orange County Jamboree Shakedown event where we joined up with all the Orange County Jamboree troops. This event gave us a preview to what life would be like at Fort A.P. Our leaders told us that this was a good sample of what to expect but nowhere near the atmosphere of the real thing. This only fueled my excitement for the Jamboree even more.
On July 14, we dropped off our fully packed duffel bags and troop equipment at a truck loading area. Our gear along with the gear belonging to the other three Los Angeles troops was loaded into a trailer that will be sent ahead of us in order to arrive at the Jamboree at the same time as us.
On July 21, we take off for a tour of historical sites in Philadelphia, Virginia, and Washington D.C. I look forward to seeing the places that I learned about in school and have seen in movies and on T.V. Thanks to our leaders and eighteen months of planning; we are truly following the scout motto: "Be prepared".
The clock is winding down. The adventure of a lifetime is almost upon us, and I look forward to sharing my experiences.
