Missed a couple of days here. First was the monsoon that came through Thursday afternoon. We all became tent poles holding up the booth tops dumping out the water. Then it was picking up all of the soaked items. The sand drained most of the water away but everyone was walking around with wet clothes for the rest of the day.

On Friday we were swamped at the merit badge booth. We helped over 188 Scouts to complete and earn the merit badge. Heat broke so we only had a few hours of black flag, i.e., over 90 on the heat index.

Still haven’t seen much of the Jamboree and probably won’t. We’re one of the most popular booths at the Jamboree. Hats off to Paul Orgeron (Piedmont, CA), Eva Shoemaker, Gumby , Jim Erickson, Jef Heckinger, Harry Hinrichsen, Larry Trook and many more that I am missing (I got ‘delegated’ to be in charge today.)
