This gateway from another troop featured a Captain Crunch
theme. Their patches were very popular when it came to trading.

Troop 1417's scoutmaster and assistant scoutmaster test
their skills at the archery range.
|
Every Scout was responsible for his own laundry. One
of the popular ways do get it clean was to use the bucket and plunger method.
|
One of the great things about going to the Jamboree is
the new friendships that are formed, both within the troop and at the Jamboree.
|
The Scouts of Troop 1417 were always doing something.
He a few take a break to play cards at the campsite.
|
The Order of the Arrow performed a fantastic show called
Scoutopia. Tickets were given to each Scout who attended the Jamboree.
|
At the Brown Sea Island Camp visitors were treated to
what happened at the very first Boy Scout camping trip in England.
|
Troop 1417 adult leaders even posed with Lord Baden Powell
at the Brown Sea Island Camp. (Of course, he is not the real one.)
|
Across the road from Brown Sea Island was a mock up of
the first Boy Scout camp held in the USA. It was very interesting.
|
Troop 1417 moves out to get in line with other troops
from Subcamp 14 as they prepare to leave for the Jamboree's first arena
show.
|
A picture just cannot show what it is like to be marching
with thousand of other Scouts on the way the the arena. Awesome!
|
Even Smokey the Bear was on hand to great the Boy Scouts
and leaders as they marched to the first arena show.
|
This picture shows a small area of the 30,000 Boy Scouts
and leaders who attended the show. You don't want to lose your troop here.
|
It took over an hour to move every troop into the arena,
so some of the Scouts brought cards to help pass the time as they waited.
|
The show was set up like a concert with two large screens
that showed the action on the stage. We were lucky to sit in front, about
half way up.
