Friday we ALL got up at 5:15 to participate in the 5K event. Because of that we gave the patrols as much time as they wanted / needed to fix and clean up from breakfast. We finally got them to meet our standards for a clean site and they went off on their adventures. I mostly stayed in camp to give Mr. Mitchell and Mr. McCool a chance to get out. There must always be adults in the site. I did visit the Buckskin Games area to get my hat branded. We had a visit from the Safety Inspector who gigged us for mostly minor infractions.
We had some buddy system issues but we are getting better at coming home on time. The guys from Trinidad are busier than ever because the program people keep adding performances to their schedule. They found out via the Jamboree newspaper that they got scheduled to play the pre Jamboree Arena show. Not cool. What WAS cool was that Trinidad drafted Isaac to perform with them on Saturday!
A bunch of leaders gathered together to award Wood Badge beads to four Scoutmasters. After that I traded patches with adults in the staff tents.
At 10:00 two troops gathered for another anniversary; Steve and I celebrated our 8th wedding anniversary with two cakes decorated with BSA logos. A fitting evening for two scouters.
