Getting set up

100 years of Scouting

....unimpeded by progress. It is the 16th of July and I'v made my way to Fort A.P. Hill near Bolling Green, Virginia. It is the 100th anniversary of the Boy Scouts of America. It is time for the Jamboree. I'm down here with my Wife and 6 other guys, we are known as the Gophers. We go for what ever, and we spend a majority of our time on the road between A.P. Hill and the airports that service the Jamboree - Dulles, Reagan National, and Richmond. On a given day we will cover 300-600 miles. We will spend a week getting all the staff in here, then we will instantly start taking people out for family emergencies, illness, etc. In the next 4 days we will bring in 1700 adult/staff, which help put this event together for about 30,000 youth. This is the last time we will be at AP Hill. Congress declared that if the US Army couldn't support all non-profit organizations, then they can't support the Boy Scouts.
