Duffle Bag update and other stuff

[Brian Bennett]

Hello Scouts and Scouters, Friends and Family of Jamboree Troops 1632
and 1633

Last night large duffel bag check went very well. Here are a few notes
for those checking in their large duffel bags tonight with T175 in
Irving.

**put your mess kit in your large duffel bag. The fork, spoon, knife
set cannot go through security at the airport and you will not need it
until Jamboree

**put knives in your large duffel bag

**Sunscreen, Sunscreen, Sunscreen

**Radio's in the large duffel bag. There is a radio station at
Jamboree.

**Only pack Boy Bcout clothes and related items. No jeans. No shorts.
Only BSA t-shirts BSA shorts, BSA uniform shirts, BSA socks. The
Jamboree is all BSA all the time. We understand socks are not
available at the local area scout shops. Please know there will be a
full uniform store at the Jamboree. So big they will have little
shopping carts to wheel around. Also, borrow socks from your Scout
friends not attending Jamboree.
