This is a fair representation of the multiple Districts that make up our Troop. The idea is that every member of the Patrol will have a job within the Patrol and Troop.
After watching these patrols for a couple months it looks like they are in for a great time at Jambo!!
Have a Great Scouting Day!

BOY's LIFE PATROL FLAG CONTEST
'Boys’ Life Patrol Flag Contest
The Patrol Flag
Take a good look at a successful patrol, and what do you see? Its patrol flag—always honored, jealously guarded, properly cared for. It goes wherever the fellows go, on every hike, every camping trip. It flies from the top of the cliff they scaled, from the bow of the lead canoe. It’s their emblem, their calling card.
Contest Overview
The 2010 National Scout Jamboree program will feature the Boys’ Life Patrol Flag Contest. All jamboree patrols may enter. Each winning patrol flag (subcamp and region) will be presented a ribbon, and each winning patrol member will receive a special patch. All judging will be from within the subcamps and regional areas. On Saturday, July 31, 2010, a recognition ceremony will be held at 9:30 A.M. in the Boys’ Life exhibit area to honor the top three patrol flags from each region.
It is expected that every patrol will carry its patrol flag in a normal way throughout the jamboree. Subcamp patrol winners will receive a temporary patrol flag while the regional judging is being conducted.
To Enter the Contest
The patrol must construct its flag based on the jamboree patrol flag standards (see “Criteria for Judging”) prior to the jamboree, transport it to the jamboree, and present it for troop judging on Wednesday, July 28, 2010.
After the start of judging on July 28, no alterations or additions may be made to patrol flags; only the minor repairor maintenance of flags is permitted.
Procedure for Judging
• In the troop: July 28
The troop leaders (youth and adult) of each troop will select the winning entry from their troop on
Wednesday, July 28, 2010. All winning troop flags must be delivered to the subcamp headquarters by
10 A.M. Thursday, July 29, 2010, for subcamp judging.
• In the subcamp: July 29
The subcamp activities director and his elected staff will administer the Boys’ Life Patrol Flag Contest in each of the subcamps. Each subcamp will select three winning flags from their subcamp. Each winning patrol will be presented a ribbon for the flag, and each patrol member will receive a patch. Also, each patrol will receive a temporary patrol flag to carry while its winning flag is being judged at the regional level. The three winning sub camp flags are to be delivered to regional headquarters by 10 A.M. Friday, July 30, 2010.
• In the region: July 30
Three winning patrols will be chosen during the regional competition. Each winning patrol will be presented a ribbon for the flag, and each patrol member will receive a patch.
• At Boys’ Life Exhibits: July 31
All regional winning flags and patrol members are asked to be present at the Boys’ Life exhibit area at 9:30 A.M.
Saturday, July 31, 2010. Official photographs will be taken of each winning patrol and their flags. A brief recognition ceremony will follow the photo session.
I have a feeling that Troop 720 is going to do real well at this, maybe even run away with it all!!!
GET YOUR PATROL FLAGS MADE AND HAVE A SHOT AT THIS COOL EVENT!!

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!

Recap of Committee/Parent meeting 2/28/10
I want to thank everyone for attending the committee/parent meeting tonight.
It was a very nice location, thanks to the West Linn folks for getting that all together for us.
The next committee/parent meeting will be during the Troop meeting on the 18th of March. We will be getting a class room at the St. Henry's Church to use while the Scouts are in their meeting at the Knights Hall.
In April we will have a Committee/parent meeting in Hillsboro.
Thanks again for coming.
Here are the major end items that we discussed and came to some conclusions about (there will be a full posting including the minutes of the meeting at a later date)
1. We concluded that there would be a net balance $1300 after the purchase of patches from the $50 assessment.
This money is going to be used for gifts, supplies, and materials for the Troop.
2. April 11th we will have a Troop gathering to assemble and set up the troop gear. This will be conducted at the Knights Hall Parking lot from 1:00 PM to 7:00 PM. A meal will be included.
3. May 8th we are planning on the troop camping at Scouters Mountain.
4. Hats, Jackets, and T-shirts-
We have a vendor for all three. We found a great place in Estacada that will do our t-shirts for $7.50. We will get a price break at 100 shirts. We are still looking for a design, Scouts we need to your designs in quickly.
Jackets are going to be ordered through one of the other Jamboree Scoutmasters, she can get them for $11.99 a piece. I will talk with Kim at our next contingent meeting and get more details.
5. Supplies:
We need 2 more cookers for the Turkey stoves. There were hands that went up volunteering theirs, if you are interested, let me know.
Wood, we have one of the Dads that has all the wood that we need, we will be getting in touch with him with an itemized list of material needs.
We need to build 2 Patrol boxes and 4 stove tables.
One of the Scouts of the Troop has volunteered to take home, sand and repaint the tables. Thanks
Gateway. We are still working the design. Once we get a firm handle on that we will start talking about materials needed. The plan is to go light and easy. Stay tuned.
6. Gifts, we discussed how many we need and who they go for, above and beyond the "at home" gifts with the patches. We talked about gifts for bus drivers and tour guides etc. Karleen will bring 5 gifts to the next meeting and we will pick 2.
I am sure I am leaving something out. It was a very productive meeting, when the minutes come out, we will pass them on.
Things that are due at the next meeting:
Patch money
Med forms that have not yet been collected
Designs for t-shirt /gateway/ hat
There will be a T-shirt/Jacket order form available at the next Troop meeting.
It is imperative that Scouts make all the meetings, we have a lot to do and a short amount of time to do it.
Along with task completion, we need to be taking advantage of bonding and building lasting friendships.
Thanks to all of you.
Have a Great Scouting day!

Troop Update 2-10-10
OK Jamboree 720..
The Patch orders are in.. man, you guys ordered a lot of patches.. that's great, you will have a great time with that and our uniforms will look Great.
Medical forms are in, with a few exceptions... we will clean that up at the next Troop meeting.. which will be on February 18th at 7:00 PM at the Knights Hall.
I would like to thank EVERYONE.. Our Troop is 100% complete on the National Registration!!!
What that means is that now EVERYONE will have access to and receive all the National stuff coming out..
Look for a Catalog from National to hit your mail boxes soon.. they were supposed to be mailed on the 5th of February.. so look for it.
HATS, JACKETS, AND OTHER UNANSWERED QUESTIONS....
Hats.. we got the answer on Hats. The 4 of us have decided to have one made locally.. a baseball style. We will get the troops input.
We can keep the cost down this way and get what we want.
Jackets... I will talk about that one at the meeting.. lets just say for now that we have some options.
Unanswered questions... I have an itinerary of the trip.. it is still tentative, but it's about 85% accurate.. at least dates and locations are listed and we know what days we will be at the biggy's.
I want to thank everyone for their patients and support. The fun is really just beginning.
The next couple months are going to be busy and take a lot of work.. but it is all about the fun we are going to have at Jambo!!
I'll see you at the meeting!
Remember to tell your friends to check in at this website...
I need a couple Scouts that are interested in being Historians for this adventure. Imagination needed.
Have a Great Scouting Day!
