Wood Badge and Adult Leader Training

The site never should have been selected in the first place for any kind of scouting event and it's incomprehensible that US scouting endorsed the site with its presence. The "reclaimed seabed" was a tidal estuary habitat of extreme environmental importance for migratory species in a very challenging part of the world. It was like endorsing a Jamboree on a paved over a US National Wildlife Refuge the size of the Great Dismal Swamp in Virginia or something else of comparable square mileage and importance. It never should have gotten to the logistical nightmare phase because the Jamboree never should have been held there in the first place. The politics that are most to blame are within the scouting organization not in South Korea. 

History Montgomery is the organization that promotes and seeks to preserve the history of my home area, Montgomery County, Maryland.  Here is a recent video presentation about Troop 33 of Takoma Park Maryland, and the founding of their Camp Schmitt..  

I hope other countries around the world will not be discouraged from hosting the WSJ fearing lack of “Experience working on large international events.” I had a great time on that reclaimed seabed, and would’ve have rather spent more time there. It’s tragic that the event continues to be used for political witch hunts.

I wonder if the length of time indicates which way they are leaning.  

Methinks I may not be overthinking this.   It’s a brand new world out there.  Having the signature of a Honorary leader is slowing down recognitions. https://www.nbcnews.com/news/amp/rcna200141
