YOU HEAR ME? WE’RE CONNECTED!
Thanks to support from AT&T, the
BSA's exclusive communications ser-
vices sponsor, it will be easy to stay
connected at the 2010 National Scout
Jamboree this month.
AT&T is offering a vast communica-
tions network for jamboree attendees.
That's notable because Fort A.P. Hill,
Va., the site of this year's jamboree,
has in the past experienced spotty cell
phone coverage and limited Internet
access.
This year, however, AT&T customers
will have access to AT&T's wireless
network for data services and voice
calls.
And everyone, even those who aren't
AT&T customers, will have free access
to the AT&T Wi-Fi network to get a fast
wireless connection while on the jam-
boree site. That's perfect for sending
videos and photos to envious friends
and family back home.
Check out the rest of the details:
► Six ―Connection Zones‖ equipped
with AT&T netbooks and wireless de-
vices throughout the jamboree will let
Scouts get online and even make free
phone calls home.
► AT&T will offer Wi-Fi network ac-
cess for all jamboree participants, staff,
and visitors to access the mobile Inter-
net using their Wi-Fi
enabled smartphones,
laptops, netbooks, or
other wireless device.

National Jamboree Contingent
FINAL SHAKEDOWN THIS WEEKEND
It all comes down to this.
When you applied to be a Jamboree
participant, you agreed to certain
terms and training. We’re now up to
that great weekend of pre-jamboree
experience that has been anticipated
for over a year. This will be a ―full
dress rehearsal‖ regarding every-
thing from what socks you wear to
the food you prepare and eat.
The excitement of the Jamboree is
building as staff starts arriving at
―The Hill‖ this weekend. By the time
our Shakedown is over next week-
end, the staff will be either all on their
way, or already at the Jamboree site
getting things ready.
This newsletter is all about getting
you ready and passing along almost
last minute information. A great deal
of emphasis is going to be about
safety. This includes everything from
how we set up our campsites to what
clothes we wear.
Your Scoutmaster is your best
source for what needs to be done.
He and his assistants have been
meeting and preparing and should
be able to answer any questions you
may have.
Is the next Jamboree going to be
in 2013?
Will it be at A.P. Hill again?
July 2010
Prepare for inspection.
You and your gear will be checked,
and re-checked during this crucial
Shakedown. This is to ensure that
you have what you need, and do not
have what you don’t.
Arrival is set for adults as early as
they can but before 12 noon. Key 4
and especially Quartermasters need
to arrive in the early afternoon. The
entire troop needs to be at the Scioto
County fairgrounds beginning at 4:00
but no later than 5:00. All campsites
begin to set up at 5:00. PLEASE
EAT BEFORE YOU ARRIVE. A light
dinner will be provided at 7:00 PM.
Arrive in Class A, just as you will at
the Jamboree.
Bring with you your daypack; trunk
and duffle bag packed as if this were
the jamboree itself.
Parents may stick around and visit
the Trading Post. Parents are wel-
come to visit all day Saturday, but
please do not expect to retrieve your
Scout early. The semi must be
loaded Sunday, hopefully to be done
by early afternoon. You will take all
of his personal; gear back home to
re-load.

FINAL SHAKEDOWN—SCIOTO COUNTY FAIRGROUNDS
Friday July 16 through Sunday July 18
A full dress rehearsal for the Jamboree!
Back to The Hill in ‘13?
Jamboree may return to A.P. Hill afterall
BY PORTSIA SMITH Fredericksburg.com
When the Boy Scouts of America started prepar-
ing for their 2010 National Scout Jamboree at
Fort A.P. Hill, they thought it would be the last
one there. But that may no longer be the case.
The organization will celebrate its 100th anni-
versary later this month with the 2010 jamboree
at the Caroline County Army base, which it has
used for more than a quarter-century. It hopes to
move the event to West Virginia in 2013, but
that could be delayed.
"We have optioned the right to be able to come
back to the Hill because we're not sure if the
West Virginia site will be ready," said Jim
Horner, project coordinator for the National
Scout Jamboree "And we have submitted that in
writing."
Horner also said he couldn't confirm that 2013
would be the year of the next jamboree.
Hank Hanrahan, a director at Fort A.P. Hill
overseeing jamboree operations on the base,
said, "A.P. Hill is prepared to support if the deci-
sion is made to come back here."
The Summit: Bechtel Family National Scout Re-
serve in Glen Jean, W.Va., will eventually be-
come the BSA's permanent home for the Na-
tional Scout Jamboree as well as the organiza-
tion's fourth high-adventure base.
High-adventure bases host such activities as
whitewater rafting, rappelling, mountain biking
and hiking. The West Virginia site will also host
leadership development training year-round and
has the potential to handle World Scout Jambo-
ree, according to the Scout website.
While the ultimate goal is for the 10,600 acres
there to serve as the permanent site of the event,
Page 3
Horner said much needs to be done to make that
happen, including land development. Work on
the new site has already begun, thanks to a $50
million contribution from the Stephen D. Bechtel
Jr. Foundation.
The Boy Scouts initially chose Goshen in Rock-
bridge County to be the jamboree's future home.
But that February 2009 decision was withdrawn
in August because of significant restrictions on
land utilization and local community opposition.
The Boy Scouts said they received 80 proposals
from 28 states offering to host the event. Caro-
line officials said last year that they also applied
to keep the jamboree.
The 10-day gathering brings thousands of Boy
Scouts and leaders from around the country
every four years and pumps millions into the
area economy. It was last held in 2005, but the
next one was pushed back a year to coincide with
the Boy Scouts' centennial.
In 2005, it pumped an estimated $17 million to
$25 million into the local area's economy--$7.4
million for hotel and restaurant sales alone, ac-
cording to figures from the Fredericksburg Re-
gional Chamber of Commerce.
Portsia Smith: 540/374-5419

Other considerations are an “east’ and “west
Jamboree in 2013. This will be a hot topic as this
Jamboree begins and long after it is over, but a
decision must be made soon.

Thunderstorm Safety Checklist
A thunderstorm is considered severe
if it produces hail at least 1 inch in
diameter or has wind gusts of at least
58 miles per hour. Every thunderstorm
produces lightning, which kills more
people each year than tornadoes or
hurricanes. Heavy rain from
thunderstorms can cause flash
flooding and high winds can damage
homes and blow down trees and utility
poles, causing widespread power
outages.
Know the Difference
Severe Thunderstorm Watch—Severe thunderstorms are possible in and
near the watch area. Stay informed and be ready to act if a severe thunderstorm
warning is issued.
Severe Thunderstorm Warning—Severe weather has been reported by
spotters or indicated by radar. Warnings indicate imminent danger to life and
property.
Every year people are killed or seriously injured by severe thunderstorms
despite advance warning. While some did not hear the warning, others heard
the warning and did not pay attention to it. The following information, combined
with timely watches and warnings about severe weather, may help save lives.

How can I prepare What should I do during a What do I do after a

ahead of time? thunderstorm? thunderstorm?

❐ Learn about your local community’s
emergency warning system for severe
thunderstorms.
❐ Discuss thunderstorm safety with all
members of your household.
❐ Pick a safe place in your home for
household members to gather during a
thunderstorm. This should be away from
windows, skylights and glass doors that
could be broken by strong winds or hail.
❐ Make a list of items to bring inside in the
event of a severe thunderstorm.
❐ Make trees and shrubbery more wind
resistant by keeping them trimmed and
removing damaged branches.
❐ Listen to local news or NOAA Weather
Radio for emergency updates. Watch for
signs of a storm, like darkening skies,
lightning flashes or increasing wind.
❐ Postpone outdoor activities if
thunderstorms are likely to occur. Many
people struck by lightning are not in the
area where rain is occurring.
❐ If a severe thunderstorm warning is
issued, take shelter in a substantial
building or in a vehicle with the windows
closed. Get out of mobile homes that can
blow over in high winds.
❐ If you can hear thunder, you are close
enough to be in danger from lightning. If
thunder roars, go indoors! The National
❐ Never drive through a flooded roadway.
Turn around, don’t drown!
❐ Stay away from storm-damaged areas to
keep from putting yourself at risk from the
effects of severe thunderstorms.
❐ Continue to listen to a NOAA Weather
Radio or to local radio and television
stations for updated information or
instructions, as access to roads or some
parts of the community may be blocked.
❐ Help people who may require special
assistance, such as infants, children and
the elderly or disabled.
❐ Stay away from downed power lines and
report them immediately.

❐ Protect your animals by ensuring that any
outside buildings that house them are
protected in the same way as your home.
❐ Consult your local fire department if you
are considering installing lightning rods.
❐ Get trained in first aid and learn how to
respond to emergencies.
❐ Put together an emergency preparedness kit:
•Water—one gallon per person, per day
• Food—non-perishable, easy-to-prepare
• Flashlight • Battery-powered or hand-
crank radio (NOAA Weather Radio, if
possible) • Extra batteries • First aid kit
• Medications (7-day supply) and medical
items • Multi-purpose tool • Sanitation
& personal hygiene items • Copies of
personal documents • Cell phone with
chargers • Family & emergency contact
information • Extra cash
Weather Service recommends staying
inside for at least 30 minutes after the last
thunder clap.
❐ Avoid electrical equipment and telephones.
Use battery-powered TVs and radios instead.
❐ Shutter windows and close outside doors
securely. Keep away from windows.
❐ Do not take a bath, shower or use plumbing.
❐ If you are driving, try to safely exit the
roadway and park. Stay in the vehicle and
turn on the emergency flashers until the
heavy rain ends. Avoid touching metal or
other surfaces that conduct electricity in
and outside the vehicle.
❐ If you are outside and cannot reach a safe
building, avoid high ground; water; tall,
isolated trees; and metal objects such as
fences or bleachers. Picnic shelters,
dugouts and sheds are NOT safe.
❐ Watch your animals closely. Keep them
under your direct control.
If Lightning Strikes …
Follow these steps if someone has been struck
by lightning:
❐ Call for help. Call 9-1-1 or the local
emergency number. Anyone who has
sustained a lightning strike requires
professional medical care.
❐ Check the person for burns and
other injuries. If the person has
stopped breathing, call 9-1-1 and begin
CPR. If the person is breathing normally,
look for other possible injuries and care
for them as necessary. People who have
been struck by lightning do not retain an
electrical charge and can be handled
safely.

Be Red Cross Ready

Heat Wave Safety Checklist
In recent years, excessive heat has
caused more deaths than all other
weather events, including floods. A
heat wave is a prolonged period of
excessive heat, often combined with
excessive humidity. Generally
temperatures are 10 degrees or more
above the average high temperature
for the region during summer months,
last for a long period of time and occur
with high humidity as well.
Know the Difference
Excessive Heat Watch—Conditions are favorable for an
excessive heat event to meet or exceed local Excessive Heat
Warning criteria in the next 24 to 72 hours.
Excessive Heat Warning—Heat Index values are forecast to
meet or exceed locally defined warning criteria for at least 2 days
(daytime highs=105-110° Fahrenheit).
Heat Advisory—Heat Index values are forecast to meet locally
defined advisory criteria for 1 to 2 days (daytime highs=100-105°
Fahrenheit).

How can I prepare? What should I do Recognize and care for heat-
during a heat wave? related emergencies …

❏ Listen to local weather forecasts and
stay aware of upcoming temperature
changes.
❏ The heat index is the temperature the
body feels when the effects of heat and
humidity are combined. Exposure to
direct sunlight can increase the heat
index by as much as 15° F.
❏ Discuss heat safety precautions with
members of your household. Have a
plan for wherever you spend time—
home, work and school—and prepare
for the possibility of power outages.
❏ Check the contents of your emergency
preparedness kit in case a power outage
occurs.
❏ Know those in your neighborhood who
are elderly, young, sick or overweight.
They are more likely to become victims
of excessive heat and may need help.
❏ If you do not have air conditioning,
choose places you could go to for relief
from the heat during the warmest part
of the day (schools, libraries, theaters,
malls).
❏ Be aware that people living in urban
areas may be at greater risk from the
effects of a prolonged heat wave than
are people living in rural areas.
❏ Get trained in first aid to learn how to
treat heat-related emergencies.
❏ Ensure that your animals’ needs for
water and shade are met.
Let Your Family Know You’re Safe
If your community experiences a disaster, register on the American Red Cross Safe and Well
Web site available through RedCross.org to let your family and friends know about your
welfare. If you don’t have Internet access, call 1-866-GET-INFO to register yourself and
your family.
❏ Listen to a NOAA Weather Radio for
critical updates from the National
Weather Service (NWS).
❏ Never leave children or pets alone in
enclosed vehicles.
❏ Stay hydrated by drinking plenty of
fluids even if you do not feel thirsty.
Avoid drinks with caffeine or alcohol.
❏ Eat small meals and eat more often.
❏ Avoid extreme temperature changes.
❏ Wear loose-fitting, lightweight, light-
colored clothing. Avoid dark colors
because they absorb the sun’s rays.
❏ Slow down, stay indoors and avoid
strenuous exercise during the hottest
part of the day.
❏ Postpone outdoor games and activities.
❏ Use a buddy system when working in
excessive heat.
❏ Take frequent breaks if you must work
outdoors.
❏ Check on family, friends and neighbors
who do not have air conditioning, who
spend much of their time alone or who
are more likely to be affected by the
heat.
❏ Check on your animals frequently to
ensure that they are not suffering from
the heat.
Heat cramps are muscular pains and
spasms that usually occur in the legs or
abdomen caused by exposure to high heat
and humidity and loss of fluids and
electrolytes. Heat cramps are often an
early sign that the body is having trouble
with the heat.
Heat exhaustion typically involves the
loss of body fluids through heavy sweating
during strenuous exercise or physical labor
in high heat and humidity.
❏ Signs of heat exhaustion include cool,
moist, pale or flushed skin; heavy
sweating; headache; nausea; dizziness;
weakness; and exhaustion.
❏ Move the person to a cooler place.
Remove or loosen tight clothing and
apply cool, wet cloths or towels to the
skin. Fan the person. If the person is
conscious, give small amounts of cool
water to drink. Make sure the person
drinks slowly. Watch for changes in
condition.
❏ If the person refuses water, vomits or
begins to lose consciousness, call 9-1-1
or the local emergency number.
Heat stroke (also known as sunstroke) is
a life-threatening condition in which a
person’s temperature control system stops
working and the body is unable to cool
itself.
❏ Signs of heat stroke include hot, red skin
which may be dry or moist; changes in
consciousness; vomiting; and high body
temperature.
❏ Heat stroke is life-threatening. Call 9-1-1
or the local emergency number
immediately.
