Jamboree 2010 Subcamp 3 News

Newsletters available

Every morning, we publish a daily newsletter for the subcamp that's distributed to all the troops and available for the staff. They keep everyone updated on subcamp-specific information about activities, medical concerns, facilities and anything else we need to share. We've also put them up here in our Newsletter section for everyone following online.

If you're onsite, stop by the yellow and white communications tent if you have any submissions.

Subcamp Live!

The Subcamp 3 Web Site has transitioned to a live site, with content updated hourly by the on-site development team.

Check back often for live Tweets, Flickr picture uploads, Subcamp Web Cam, Subcamp newsletter, and up-to-date information.

The wireless coverage, provided by AT&T, is plentiful and fast, so there's no good reason not to stop back several times per day while you are at the 2010 National Jamboree! You can even check us out from one of the several Jamboree Internet Kiosks!
