Want to carry the entire Jamboree in the palm of your hand? Download the new Jamboree App! It costs $.99 and currently has limited functionality, but once we get to The Summit, you will be able to check your personal schedule each day, find activities on a map, keep track of friends and members of your patrol, find a place for a snack, locate restrooms, track down drinking water, find a first aid station, and much more. Here is a link to a story about the app http://bit.ly/12gSKjP. You can download it and get more information at the Play Store on your Android phone. A version for iPhone will be available soon.

Get Your Jamboree ID Photo Uploaded by April 30

Remember when you registered online? It asked you to upload a photo of yourself, but you didn't have to do it right then. Well, you now have until April 30 to get your photo uploaded. Photos should be like a passport or driver's license photo -- straight on, head and shoulders only. Avoid using photos with anyone or anything else in them, or photos taken from a distance. If you don't like the one you originally sent, you can update it up until April 30. If you have questions about what kind of photo is needed, or how to get it uploaded, contact the Jamboree registrar at 2013jamboree@scouting.org.

Hey Troop 419! Your Jamboree daypacks have arrived. It's rugged and roomy for all of the stuff you'll want to carry around with you, and includes an embroidered design to ID you as a member of the W.D. Boyce contingent. As soon as we get your other gear, like the duffle, tshirts, hats, and patches, we'll put it all together with this and let you know when and where you can get yours. Keep checking back for more news...

Singing the Night Away

What's a Scouting and Venturing weekend without some songs?  What's your favorite song or skit?  One of our favorites is Gray Squirrel. It might just be because we get to swish our tails. :)

Electronics at Jamboree!?!

Later this month a 2013 Jamboree App will be released for only $0.99!  The app will be pretty sweet.  We'll be able to keep track of activities, access maps and find the closest activities to our locations.

The Jamboree App will be available for all Apple and Android phones.  There will be a GPS feature to the

app that will allow you to see where your fellow Scouts are located when we 'friend' our crew members or anyone else we meet at Jamboree

So many other options will be a part of the Jamboree App.  Stay tuned for updates!

I am so ready for SRB 2013!!!!!!!!!!!
