No alarm to wake me up meant that I woke up by a quarter to seven. There was plenty of activity in the camp as people were packing up to go home. Some of the youth had left the previous night, and the rest were leaving today. I’m very glad our team was done, and …

Yesterday was the last day of visitors, and all our stuff had gotten put away. One would think this meant we could sleep in this morning. One would be wrong. We had a reception at 8 AM with all the other teams that fell under Guest Services. The location where all receptions were held is …
We went into our last day of visitors in good moods. I grabbed a ride with my team leader, and made it to the welcome center very quickly. I also got to avoid the line for the bus. We were some of the first people to arrive thanks to our ride, and had a chance …
Same morning routine as before. Until we got to the bus stop. When we walked up we saw that there was already a long line. In speaking with the ladies who were at the front, we learned that while the bus to Ruby had started running by 6:30 AM on previous days, it had not …

This morning did not require an alarm. Friday was Culture Day across the Jamboree, so the site was closed to visitors. All the participant units were encouraged to showcase food and culture from their homes, and visit each other. I spent the early part of the morning sleeping. I took my time getting up, enjoying …
Another 5:45 AM alarm, another cool morning, another snooze. I did manage to get out of my sleeping bag, dressed, and out of the tent. After breakfast a couple of us were able to catch a ride with the team leads rather than a shuttle. Today several friends from home came as visitors. It was …
My alarm was set for 5:45, and I snoozed it twice. It was cold, and I was bummed I had not thought to put my clothes in my sleeping bag with me. I did eventually get out of my bag and get dressed, then I grabbed my bag, and headed to breakfast. After eating I …
