The program at this World Jamboree has been o.k. Compared to our National Jamborees, it is weak, but extremely educational. The guys would rather have more hands on activities, but it ain't like home.
We had been told that the Splash program took 2 hours to get there by bus. You had to wait in lines for 45 minutes each. We were told by another US Troop, that on a scale from 1 - 10, Splash was a #1. We talked it over with our guys and they voted to skip it and stay around and do other things. I hated to miss something, but it really sounded rough.
Everyone took advantage of the time and finished doing things that they hadn't had time for or redoing the things that they enjoyed the first time.
It was the right thing to do.
Myself, Douglas Wagoner, John Scott, and Joe Ball have really enjoyed this event. (Stephen Burke was out chasing Belgium girls). We are already talking about Sweden in 2011.
