  2. By the 1981 Jamboree ( July 29 - Aug 4 ) Reagan had recovered enough to travel. His first trip after the assassination attempt in March was the Notre Dame commencement in May.

The patrol gear is checked on the meeting before the campout and the trailer is loaded. We stop to eat on the way to the campout. General drive time ( excluding dinner ) is usually 1.5 hours. The troop lanterns are packed last, and lit as soon as arriving. Many of the scouts / leaders also have headgear-type flashlights.
