Jamboral

We went to the council camp Jamboral last weekend and had a blast!  There were so many troops there!  They gave each boy a set of 15 trading cards that were all the same, and challenged them to go out and trade cards with the other 14 districts to get 15 different cards!  The cards were different Scout Handbook covers through the years, so it was fun to see what they looked like back to 1910!  And it got the boys talking to other scouts from other troops!
Lots of scouts, and this is just one camping area out of 20!
At the Jamboral they had tons of booths with stuff to do, some of the ones that looked the most fun were the slack line, BMX Racing, Bike Riding on the racetrack, and the color run. 

The color run was an obstacle course (probably close to 1/2 mile long) that had places where they threw colored chalk at you as you ran by.  We were covered in chalk by the end of the course, and we had a blast!  We had to climb over walls and hay bales, crawl thru tunnels, climb nets to ring a bell at the top, climb ropes, swing across things, pull a spare tire across a gravel yard and back, etc.  It was really well done, and a lot of fun!
