The reason for the quarantine was diarrhea. Not sure of the exact cause but poor hygiene may have contaminated food. It also could have been the result of the hay bales given out to help with the wet campsite conditions.
We have not heard an exact count of troops impacted but it ranged from only six to over thirty. They literally put up yellow caution tape around the sites with signs saying "Quarantined."
Luckily Sub-Camp C was on the other side of the jamboree from us.
We used this as a learning opportunity to stress a Scout is Clean.
No scout had made me award of any lingering issues with any medical issues.
What a great trip. The Baker's would like to thank the A226 leadership. Jon you did an outstanding job leading these scouts. Your blog updates were wonderful to read. They let us know that the scouts were in good hands.
