Homeward bound!
Our 2026 National Jamboree adventure has come to an end, and after an unforgettable week at the Summit Bechtel Reserve, Troop 3344 is on the road home.
As we waited for our bus this morning, there was a mix of excitement, exhaustion, and reflection. Over the past week, our Scouts challenged themselves, tried new activities, met Scouts from across the country, and made friendships that will last long after the tents have been packed away.
I couldn't be prouder of this group. They represented themselves, our troop, and the Cape Cod & Islands Council with enthusiasm, respect, and a willingness to pitch in whenever help was needed. Whether preparing meals, cleaning camp, supporting one another, or simply making the most of every opportunity, they demonstrated what Scouting is all about.
A special thank-you goes to our outstanding Senior Patrol Leader, Robert, whose leadership helped keep our contingent organized throughout the week. Thank you as well to our adult leaders—Chris Young, Marshall Lovelette, and Kim Slowek—for sharing their time, experience, and dedication to making this adventure such a success.
Finally, thank you to all of the parents, families, and friends who followed along from home, cheered us on, and supported this journey from the very beginning. Your encouragement made this experience possible.
The Jamboree may be over, but the memories, friendships, and lessons learned will stay with us for years to come. Thank you for following along on our adventure!
