2010 National Jamboree | |
| I will try an update this page with photos from
Jamboree as I have time. My experience will be different from what the boys experience. Each staff members experience will also differ. Mine will start with the medical Staff. | |
|
From the main Highway, there were big signs to make sure you could find your way. It worked! |
|
|
|
My position is working at the Wilcox Center. This is actually about 4-5 miles outside the main Jamboree site. It is a long bus ride back and forth. However, we have barracks to stay in instead of tents like the staff that are staying in the main Jamboree areas. |
|
The inside of one of the barracks. Doesn't look too bad - yet. |
|
|
|
Some of the outside eating area from our mess hall. |
|
What will become my home away from home - the Wilcox Medical Center Clinic. |
|
|
|
There is a hospital here that I will also be working at. Straight out of MASH, tent and all. |

|
The adults did as much patch trading as the scouts. |
|
Some of the bus transportation that the boys will get to know very well. The buses run throughout the Jamboree area. |
|
|
|
Just behind the outdoor dining area was a weather balloon. |
|
No scouts are here yet, but the trading posts are very busy. There are 4 different Trading Posts, one by each Sub Camp area. Can't imagine the lines once the scouts are here. |
|
|
|
An inflatable "something" outside the Trading Post. |

The main screen for the Huge Arena Shows. |
|
|
|
To give you an idea of the size of the place. This is one third of the space. |
|
Many different type of displays. |
|
|
|
The National Eagle Scout Association tent. |
|
Some of the famous Eagle Scouts you can meet at this tent. |
|
|
|
There are many areas around the activity centers to get water. |
|
More water options. |
|
|
|
There is a low power Radio Station for the Jamboree. Can be received only on the base and a few miles off the base. Lots of updates and important information for everyone. |
|
All the important things from home are here. |
|
|
|
The Ice Cream stations will be very popular. |
|
There are medical centers throughout the subcamps and around activity centers. |
|
|
|
Tents for Jamboree reporting staff. |
|
And National News Crews. |
|
|
|
The ice cream stands were open. |
|
as was Dunkin' Donuts. |
|
|
|
There were a large display about the NEW High Adventure Base in West Virginia, opening in 2013. |
|
The drawing of the landscape looks really fun. When it is complete, there will be hiking, whitewater rafting, ocean based adventures and lots more. |
|
|
|
Cub Scouting history. |
|
And some of the old uniforms, books, etc. |

There were supposed to be bikes for us to use. Eventually, there were lots of bikes, but too many people around to make them very useful. |
