2010 National Scout Jamboree

There is a new Jamboree website, to get to it  - you must type it into the address space of your browser - www.bsajamboree.org   

The Chief Cornplanter Council will be taking a contingent to the 2010 National Scout Jamboree. July 26 - August 4, 2010 at Fort A.P. Hill, Caroline County, Virginia

Qualifications for Scouts:

  • Be at least a First Class Scout at time of attendance at Jamboree
  • Have completed sixth grade or be at least 12 years of age by July 1, 2010, and has not reached his 18th birthday by August 2, 2010.
  • Participate in pre-jamboree training experience.
  • Submit a Jamboree Medical Form
  • Be approved by his Scoutmaster and the local council jamboree committee.
> Scouts must attend Summer Camp, 2010 at Camp Olmsted. There will be no charge for Summer Camp for Jamboree participants.
 
> All Scouts attending must have at least 2 full summer Scout uniforms. We will be placing a large order for uniform parts in the fall of 2009 and this should save everyone some money.
 
> Cost to attend the 2010 National Scout Jamboree is only $1,450.  We've done our level-best to keep the fee as low as possible. We've broken the payments into easy to manage installments and all participants will receive a coupon payment book upon paying their initial deposit. In addition, camperships will be available and there will be other fund-raising opportunities which will benefit the participants only and the Council will only use these funds for the Jamboree and related expenses. IF YOU THINK IT COSTS TOO MUCH TO AFFORD, YOU'RE WRONG. We wont deny any Scout who wants to participate and has a financial need. Don't miss this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity because you think you can't afford it. This fee includes transportation, meals and lodging en route to and from the jamboree, special patches, neckerchief, patrol and troop equipment, a Jamboree training weekend, and a sightseeing trip (2005 Jamboree went to Washington D.C.). A payment schedule will be announced with installments due beginning Fall 2008, and the final payment due February 2010.
 
TO REGISTER:  All Scouts wishing to attend the Jamboree must register on line at myscouting.org.  You will need to create an account for yourself. Once you do that, and log in, click on "Event Reservations", then click on "Jamboree" and you will be walked through the registration process.  This is a National Office requirement and there is a $10 processing charge at the end of the registration process.
