Dedicated ISTs reflect

Donald Roberts With many of the contingents gone, this is a sad place. But the ist are very busy getting everything put away.

 

 

Jim Virgin Staffing any Jamboree you get that feeling when the contingents leave.

Back in the US of A

Flight 1 from Copenhagen nearly complete

Chuck Berry said it well in his song Back in the US of A from 1959.

Oh well, oh well, I feel so good today,
We touched ground on an international runway
Jet propelled back home, from over the seas to the U. S. A.

New York, Los Angeles, oh, how I yearned for you
Detroit, Chicago, Chattanooga, Baton Rouge
Let alone just to be at my home back in ol' St. Lou.
Did I miss the skyscrapers, did I miss the long freeway?
From the coast of California to the shores of Delaware Bay
You can bet your life I did, till I got back to the U. S. A.

Looking hard for a drive-in, searching for a corner cafe

Where hamburgers sizzle on an open grill night and day
Yeah, and a juke-box jumping with records like in the U.S.A.

Well, I'm so glad I'm livin' in the U.S.A.
Yes. I'm so glad I'm livin' in the U.S.A.
Anything you want, we got right here in the U.S.A.

Day 11 - Parent's Prayer

Day 11.

The Jamboree is done.

They don't say "Good Bye" to their new friends around the globe, but rather "See Ya Later" or "Till We Meet Again". There is some last minute frantic exchange of contacts, patches and gifts, hug, kisses and tears.

We pray that they've had a dry night. We thank God above for our fantastic crew leaders and international service team volunteers who have toiled and sweated for our youth . We give thanks for this wonderful experience that helps to shape our young adult's minds and souls.

The flight home will be long and they'll arrive late at night. They'll be sad to leave the Jamboree, be happy to sleep in their own beds soon , and be full of the scouting spirit to bring back to their home units and inspire those that follow.

We pray for safe travels and give thanks for the skilled pilots, cabin crew, drivers, and who bring our children and loved ones safely home. Amen

Here is asking God's blessing for safe travel mercies for all scouts traveling home to their destinations! We are sooo looking forward to seeing our kids. God Bless... Safe travels!
