The days are passing quickly here at the Jamboree. In fact, many of us feel as though our normal lives have been paused--stress, plans, and concerns are a long ways away for us. We have adjusted well to the temperature, food, culture, and day-to-day chores and activities. Most importantly however, we are still having the time of our lives!
Here is a glimpse of what we've been doing for the last two days:
We've been spreading the American Dream by creating our own version of Wall Street. Our international trading buzzes with people during almost every moment of free time.
We've held many games of Ultimate Frisbee, often involving scouts from other groups.
Seven of us sang On My Honor (a traditional BSA song) to approximately 100 of the world's greatest scouters, such as organizers of this Jamboree, the director of the world scouring program, and heads of scouting from many nations around the globe.
We explored different cultures through their food, presentations and dances held in the evenings, and some games and crafts provided in the Culture section of the Jamboree. Additionally, we spent a day in the city of Yamaguchi were able to see a cultural presentation by them.
Our missionary work continues. People love hanging out at our camp, and the gospel get brought up in some every night. We also have amazing devotionals every night as we share daily reflections and spiritual thoughts.
Have you ever wondered what it takes to provide dinner for the 8,000+ people in our sub camp? It takes a full caravan for every meal.
We took a hike in the area surrounding the jamboree site. We also earned that this Jamboree is creating a major drought for the city of Yamaguchi.
