2010 Jamboree!

My camera out-smarted me at the Jamboree and I just got the pictures of the departure from the First United Methodist Church in Marquette where Boy Scouting started in the Upper Peninsula and the Michigan Tech exhibit in the Technology Quest area. However, there are many posted at www.bsajamboree.org/DailyPhotos.aspx. Our Scouts had a great time at the Jamboree and conducted themselves well.

The Grand Boy Scout Anniversary Parade

A highlight of the 100th Anniversary was the Grand Boy Scout Parade on Constitution Avenue in Washington, DC with 10,000 Scouts and leaders marching in the 100 degree heat. Our Jamboree Troops had a great view of the parade. In the picture below taken from the top of the Washington Monument, our troops were under the tree at the left of the picture with a clear view of the White House as the backdrop for the parade.
These two pictures show our troops along the curb.
