I attended the1960 Jambo as a scout. Two nights on the train with a stop between trains in Chicago (quite a trip for someone who hadn't been more than 100 miles from Western Maryland before). The 2010 Jambo is my first year as staff (Chartered Org Exhibits). I did attend 2005 as a visitor.

I will be back in Virginia for the 2010 National Jamboree again on adult staff working Archery C. I tried to convince my son to be on staff too (he aged out in April), but is instead going to Philmont... can't fault him there." I had the opportunity to attend the 1977 National Jamboree at Moraine (More-Rain) State Park. My dad was one of our contingient leaders, so that was pretty special for me. I attended the 2005 national jamboree as adult staff working Archery C, and my son was a participant in one of our council contingients. That was cool too.

I was at the 1977 Jambo as a Patrol Leader and the 1981 Jambo as a Junior Assistant Scoutmaster. Now I'm back as a staff member, working in the Subcamp 14 Dining Hall. My father was on staff back in 77 and 81 (don't recall what he did), but he's returning with me to work in Subcamp 14 on the Equipment and Maintenance team.

As a new Eagle Scout I attended the '64 Jambo at Valley Forge as a JASM. I don't remember how many nights we rode that train from DeRidder, LA to St. Louis and then over to Penn Station. I can tell you that I learned to sleep sitting up and can do that to this day. I can also tell you the train ride back isn't any shorter.
A few years later in 2001 I arrived at AP Hill as a Merit Badge Midway Commissioner. It was there I learned what "Don't Kill the Messenger" really means.
Both Jambos were full of good and bad experiences I'll never forget. Every Scout and Scouter should attend, at least one.

I have been fortunate to have staffed 5 National Jamborees (and 2 World Jamborees). My first National was in 1981 as a sub-camp youth staff member. In 1985 I helped promote Exploring in the National Exhibits area. For the 1993, 1997, and 2001 Jambos, I helped out in the Conservation area and promoted the Hornaday award for service to conservation. The Jamboree in 1989 I was not able to attend due to thesis work on my Master's Degree at Texas A&M (Geology). However, I did make collection sets of rocks and minerals to be given to scouts as a gift for completing the Geology Merit Badge at the Jamboree.

I visited the 1977 National Jamboree at 'More-Rain' State Park in Pennsyvania, on the day of the big rain. I also visited the 1981 National Jamboree the first year it was at A.P. Hill, and the 1983 World Scout Jamboree in Calgary, Canada.
I was the 1st Assistant Scoutmaster for a council contigent troop in 1985, and served on national staff for the Daily Stage Shows at both 2005 and 2010.
