Packing the Budget Truck with our gateway

What is left of our gateway as we tear down.

I had to charge my iPhone, turns out the battery life isn't that
great. A quick update on what has happened lately. - Its looked a
little like rain, but it definitely will go around us. Everyone is
tearing their action centers down, as the day is over. (That means
free stuff!!! I got a couple cool National Guard T-shirts :D ) right
now we are taking our camp apart, the picture is of the gateway. We
are waiting for the truck for gear. We also have a special surprise
for sleeping arangements tonight!

Taking a break for lunch

It's a bug!

Walking back to camp right now. Beautiful weather, but this is
definately shaping up to be one of our warmer days

Shawn white has just arrived at mountain boarding.

Meeting Shawn White at MountainBoarding

Our last flag raising ceremony :(

Packing up the totes.

Repacking our action packers.

The scouts getting ready for the morning announcements.

Wiping down the tables so they can be packed back in the truck later
today.

Today's Jamboree Today focuses on a legacy. Today is the last day of
activities on Fort AP Hill forever. Today is when I figure out how
many times I can use the word Today in one blog post :) However, this
is something bigger than any of that that is brewing. The Summit.
10,600 acres. $300 million to develop. Hundreds of miles of fiber
optics. and the first place the Boy Scouts of America National Scout
Jamboree can call home.

Breakfast is served!!!

Last day! Right now all four patrols are preparing their wholesome and
healthy breakfast so they can make the most of the last full day at
jambo.

We are finishing up the night with a Patrol Leaders Conference, and
staying HYDRATED!!! It is a essential part of the Jamboree to drink
water; however it has stayed under 76 degrees for most of Jamboree
(unlike Illinois - which I have heard is going to be really hot
tommorow) we will be heading to bed soon, we will all need plenty of
sleep for the last full day tomorrow!!!

We got 1st place in the Central Region for our gateway; and that means
ICE CREAM!!!

Our favorite scoutmasters posing for a photo in front of the troop
gateway (1stPlace!) with their flag "Old Goats", the later which we
have recieved many complements on. (Not the previous, that would be
weird.) :D

One of our assistant scoutmasters listening to his portable record
player, it's like a iPod, I think?
