How can I demonstrate Scouting ideals at the Jamboree?

At best, the Jamboree experience is going to be hectic and fast paced.
Weather and other challenges will keep everyone on their toes. With all of
this going on, what can you do to demonstrate Scouting ideals at the
Jamboree?

*****
Notes on Reflections:

This week-long experience for members of Jambo97 is intended to give us an
opportunity to reflect on the special experience we are preparing for
25,000 Scouts both near to us and far away.

As with any reflection we are most interested in your thoughts,
experiences, and ideas. Please save your judgement for the answers others
give to your own heart and conscience. If some one's contribution sparks a
memory or inspiration in you - by all means give them credit.

There will be another question tomorrow, but feel free to respond to this
one when inspiration strikes - even if it is two weeks later!

Have fun!

*****
Another favor - please hold off on routine questions and comments during
the week of November 17-23. We'll dive right back in with those at the end
of the week. If someone forgets our request, remember that forgiveness is a
virtue, and that the list owner will be sending his own polite reminder.

Yours in Scouting,

Doug and all the Jambo97 List Members

Scouting Ideals can best be demonstrated by the leaders.  Each leader must
have a positive attitude that says "I am interested in my scouts FIRST".
One of my goals is to insure that I take the time to have a quiet talk with
each scout in my troop while on the trip.  To insure the he knows that I am
glad to have him with us, and that in the process of troop selection that I
ASKED FOR HIM!!

I cannot tell you how much difference it will make in a young man's life to
know that someone wants him for who he is, and that the Scoutmaster who
exhibits that desire is doing so in an unsolicited manner.

You would be surprised how fragile the ego of these boys is.  We need to
insure that a scout comes away from the Jamboree feeling better about
himself.  Duty to God, Duty to Country, and Duty to Others will follow IF
the scout understands his own self worth.

"The thirteenth point of the Scout Law is, "A Scoutmaster is Compassionate"!!

I think that the best way to demonstrate Scouting ideals is to always
maintain that "Scouting Spirit."  I know that sounds a little corny, but
keeping a positive outlook on everything will make the Jamboree experience
twice as rewarding.  Sure...we will all be tested as leaders.  Our
patience will run thin, and some of us will probably lose some hair, but
we must always look for the silver lining.  Don't be too harsh with the
boys, and always remember that this is a HUGE learning experience for
everyone...even for those that have been to 10 Jamborees!  Remember the
8th point of the Scout Law!
