The First Irish Scout Jamboree was held in Punchestown this Summer from the 2nd to the 10th 9th of August. It was an experience.
This will be a post in pictures because Bloggers auto-save didn't work last night! So I only took my new camera out twice over the Jamboree, at the Opening Cermony, and on the last day. This is due to the fact it was really wet and I was working my ass off for most of it.

The opening ceremony.
So much promise and excitement. It was going to be great.

It was Christy inside, our Camp Chief!!
Then lots of stuff happened... and fast forward to the end:

At the end of the couple of days, here is a view of our campsite, after the water receded.

It was way worse this this two days before.

Driving across the campsite.
Impossible to avoid the puddles!

An Taoiseach, at the opening ceremony. Someone took the original video message on their camera phone after catching him after he received communion. He was clearly reading off a sheet of paper. But it was more than we got off our Patron!
Overall, It wasn't Great and I think it is silly to even suggest it. I wouldn't even say it was satisfactory. Infact thinking back I don't even want to talk about it much. I'm just posting here incase anyone wanted to know my reaction to it, and in that case.... It was a Shamboree!
