Things are not very well organized here. We really don't know what we are doing next. What we do know, has changed several times. It would frustrate most people, but this is the biggest party I've ever attended!Today we had the Opening Ceremony. We lined up at 10:00 am and the show finally started at 1:30 pm. And what a SHOW it was! Parachutists, a national flag parade and cheers, HRH Duke of Kent (President of the UK Scout Association) and HRH Prince William were there too. HRH Elizabeth R. sent her congrats!
There are around 40,000 Scouts and leaders here from 158 different countries. It sure was awe inspiring to give the Scout Sign and repeat the Scout Law along side all of them.
One of our Scouts, Nathan Watson from Shawnee Trails Council was selected as one of the two representatives from the BSA's 4,000 contingent to go to Brownsea Island on Sunrise Day August 1st. Nathan is freaking and we are all very proud!
