COOL FACTS OF THE DAY

  • GOOD TURN: The 2010 National Scout Jamboree has donated about 2,500 meals daily to local families.
  • YELLOW DOGS: The average jamboree bus will travel 70 miles a day. With 100 buses doing all that driving, the total distance driven will be equivalent to travelling from the jamboree to Seattle, Washington, and back each day—with enough miles left over for a quick side trip to Key West, Florida.
