Update 3-7-10

Here is today's update:

Mail to the Jamboree
For efficient postal service to the jamboree, letters and packages must be addressed in this manner:

(Fill in participant’s full name)
Jamboree Troop 720
Subcamp No. 7
2010 National Scout Jamboree
Bowling Green, VA 22428- 0720

All incoming mail will be handled through the regular camp-wide Jamboree Postal Service. Packages to
individuals will not be accepted on a collect (cash-on-delivery) basis; they must be sent prepaid to the jamboree.
Due to base security, packages sent by other carriers (i.e. UPS, FedEx, etc) will not be delivered to the subcamp by those carriers and will need to be X-rayed off site. Once cleared, those packages will be turned over to the Jamboree Postal Service for delivery. Therefore, it is highly recommended to use the U.S. Postal Service for packages.

Outgoing letters and packages can be mailed from an official U.S. Postal Service from the main post office located at Heth School House near Trading Post A or from one of the substations located at Trading Post B & C. U.S. Postal Service hours of operation are 9 a.m.
to 5 p.m. For the return address on all mail or packages, each participant must use his home address. Otherwise, undelivered mail will be returned to the jamboree site long after participants have departed for home.

In the Next update I will have a full Patrol Roster and more news from our Contingent meeting.
Don't forget to get your designs in for T-shirts, hats, and gateway.
We will have the jackets that we are going to order at our next Troop meeting so you can try them on before ordering them.
Look at the countdown clock above.. we are getting real close.. in fact you need to back off 5 days from the "Official" start of Jamboree.. We fly out on the 21st of July!!

Have a Great Scouting Day!
