100th BSA Anniversary Norcal Jamboree

Saturday I took the boys and some of the boys from the troop to the Norcal Jamboree and the Alameda County Fairgrounds. It was amazing to see the large amount of Boy Scouts and just as many leaders. I got a lot of information about future activities for the troop. It was nice and warm and we enjoyed ourselves. In the last building we went in to the Oakland Raiders had a table set up to push their 2nd Annual Scout Day. They had pads, jerseys, helmets, gloves and huge cleats for the kids to try on. Of course, my older boys were interested and tried on the gear. Here is the result:

This is Jake gearing up. The helmet was way to small but he put it on anyway.
















Here is Jared striking a pose.

Both boys showing how its done.

Needless to say I had hot, and tired boys in the car when we left. Of course, a car full of boys who have been walking all day the first thing they do is take off their shoes. Really!

Yucky....uuuuuuugh.

The windows had to come down and the stinky offender had to be yelled at to put his shoes back on. After the car was air out. All was back to normal, and the kids fell asleep on the way home.
