We are off to McKee for an Ordeal this weekend. Sunday we are rehearsing Devan Allara's Eagle Ceremony.Check this out:
Anyone who is planning to buy a new saucepan in the next few weeks should think again. It’s just not worth it - it will probably be more expensive than a few months ago and the 21st World Scout Jamboree is to blame!
To give you an idea of the equipment arriving, here are just a few of the items on the Jamboree’s shopping list: 3,200 tables, 6,400 benches, 2,600 gas burners, 11,200 cooking pots, 3,200 plastic jugs, 3,200 wooden spoons, 8,400 kitchen knives, 2,800 can openers, 2,800 bottles of liquid soap, and 38,400 garbage bags.
They reported that the cost of steel on the world market increased as a result of the Jamboree placing their order; an indication of just how many steel products have been purchased for the event.
New saucepan buyers, you have been warned.
