Jake and Will left Monday for the Boy Scout National Jamboree. They will be gone for 3 weeks and are traveling around the East Coast. My dad has taken 5 troops to the Jamboree in the past so this was always something we really wanted our boys to experience. The Jamboree is only held every 4 years. They have been planning and saving for 2 years so its crazy that the time has finally come. There are 36 boys and 4 leaders within their Salt Lake troop and 12 of them go to Olympus Jr so that's fun for Jake and Will. Our nephew Adam has gone as well so how cool to experience it with a cousin. There were 16 troops from Salt Lake City that went so with 36 boys and 4 leaders in each troop that makes about 640 scouts traveling around before and after the Jamboree together. I am sure it will be quite a sight to see :) There is predicted to be 40,000+ boys at the Jamboree in West Virginia where they will spend 10 days of their 3 weeks. I miss them already but am so grateful they have this opportunity. Oh how I LOVE our boys :)
