2010 Jambore Information

Time is counting down (literally, see below) to the 2010 National Jamboree. If you are a unit leader or a jamboree leader, here is a bit of information that might be critical to your boys who are participants. If the boys have simply paid a deposit at the council office, they are not truly registered for the Jamboree. The council will accept their money but the Scout needs to go online at scouting .org and follow the MYSCOUTING link . At the MYSCOUTING login an email address and password will be necessary to get to the individual account. You must set up an account if you do not already have one. At the MYSCOUTING portal select the Event Registrations link. That will show available events, including the Jamboree. Enter the Jamboree event link and complete the information. Nearly one third of the participants have not yet registered online. If the Scouts do not register online, they could lose their spot. Troop leaders also need to complete the registration online. Make sure to select the proper application. Troop leaders need to be sure to select the Adult Troop Leader Application and not the Jamboree Staff Application.
