Hydration and the National Jamboree

Postby wagionvigil » Wed Feb 11, 2009 12:17 pm

I cannot over state the importance of hydration. Water Bottles are great but better yet a camel back will help with this. The Action Center has a policy that any scout that 1. shows up with out at least two full bottles of water or a camel back and 2. Their hat and ID will be sent back to their sub camp.

Wagion,

Just curious if there are going to be "watering holes" at the individual action areas so the Scouts can refill before hitting an action area. I can't remember if there was any when I went in 1989 but I am pretty sure that there were.

Insert witty tag line here! LOL
