The US National Whitewater Center trip has been rescheduled for Tuesday July 28. We are asking everyone to re-confirm with Patti Scott that they are able to attend. Those that are not able will receive a refund. We will also be able to add others if they are able to attend on the new date.

The weekend began when we left the church at 6:00 pm for the Spring Wateree at the Anne Springs Close Greenway in Fort Mill. Thirty-five scouts and six leaders attended for Troop 333. At about 6:30 pm we arrived at camp and started setting up our equipment. It basically took half the evening to set up the tents, canopy gateway and the patrol boxes. After that everyone played and rested for the rest of the evening. The next morning we got up at 6:30 am and cooked breakfast. At 8:00 am we had our flag pole gathering and at 9:00 am we started the Scoutathalon events. We did the cross county run, orienteering course, and kayak building events all morning till lunch. After we ate lunch and played in the rain we finished up the rest of the events for the afternoon which were, kayak racing, lumberjack race, and the smokey bear race (fire building). Once the events were over we headed back to camp for dinner and rested till the campfire. At 8:00 pm we went to the campfire and watched skits and “interpretive” dancing. The last “interpretive” dance was really weird! Goth-Girl and Bat-Chick were also seen attending the campfire. Once the campfire was over we went back to the campsite and either played or hit the sack. On Sunday morning we woke up and ate breakfast before Chapel. Once Chapel was over we came back to camp to get ready for the cardboard boat races. The patrols took a lot of pride in boats they built: Scorpion patrol – Scorpion boat, Dragon patrol - Grey boat, Rattlesnake patrol – Banana boat, Cobra patrol – Green boat, Flying Eagle patrol – Shark boat, and the Moose patrol – Moose boat. All morning we had a blast watching and racing the boats. The crowd favorite seemed to be the Rattlesnake patrol’s 18 foot long Banana boat that was as fast as it was big. Once everyone raced we went back to camp to pack our gear up. We left at about 1:15 pm to go back home. The troop won 11 awards at the camporee:

1^st place Boat Design (Dolphin division) – Flying Eagle patrol’s Shark boat

Twenty-two scouts and nine adults departed on Friday May 1, and drove almost 3 hours to Crumpler, North Carolina. There, we camped out for Friday night at Riverside Canoe Rental in our tents. The next morning, we got up, ate breakfast, took down our tents and prepared to head to our put-in site at around 9-10 am. From there we canoed 12 miles till we stopped for lunch at about 12:30-1:00 pm. After we ate lunch, we canoed another 6 miles to get to our campsite. Once we put our canoes aside and got our equipment to our campsite, we put up our tents and rested for the rest of the day. Dinner was great! Everyone had Mountain House meals. The next morning everyone gladly woke up to the rain and had breakfast. After we packed up our equipment, we canoed for 6 miles and portaged past the dam. Before we put back in, everyone had a good time playing in the river. I especially enjoyed the rapids throughout the New River. I noticed many adult canoes got stuck in the shallow areas. Maybe it was the extra weight? The lunch coming back was especially enjoyed by all.

A century of the finest outdoor and leadership experience a boy could have! This tradition lives on at the pinnacle of the 100th Anniversary of Scouting—the 2010 National Jamboree. Yesterday merges with tomorrow at the greatest Scouting event of the century. It is the opportunity of a lifetime, one you will never forget. DON’T MISS OUT on this special moment in time!

After our troops have been filled, a stand-by list of alternates will be established Scouts will be assigned to a jamboree troop consisting of 36 Scouts and four adult leaders.

Baden-Powell’s Vision
In 1916, Sir Robert Baden-Powell, founder of the Scouting movement, knew what success looked like for the 10th anniversary of Scouting. It was the sight of thousands of youth gathered together to celebrate. The jamboree was born! In his words, “The secret of its growth lies in that indeterminate force which we only know as the ‘Scout Spirit,’ “and grow it has!

Since 1937, more than 654,000 Scouts and leaders have shared the jamboree experience and hiked the trails, paths, and roadways at 16 national Scout jamborees. Now, 100 years after Scouting reached the United States, it’s your turn to celebrate!
