Hello Jamboree Participants,
Thank you for wanting to be a part of the 2010 National Boy Scout Jamboree. The steering committee has been working to make sure this will be a great experience for you as Scouting celebrates it 100th anniversary.
In order to best fit you into a troop that will meet your needs we ask that you complete the attached questionnaire, which asked if you would prefer to be a part of a troop that will have a tour after the Jamboree or be in a troop that will have no tour (Jamboree experience only). The costs are different between the two and you will need to make that decision with your parents.
Also, if you would like to designate a particular person as your buddy we welcome you to do so. Many of you may know of other Scouts who have signed up to attend and would like to be included as buddies throughout the Jamboree experience. If you do not have someone in mind at this time that is ok as you will have an opportunity to meet others prior to going to the Jamboree and you can be matched up at that time. *Please note, although we cannot guarantee that you will be placed with your buddy the Jamboree Committee will do everything possible to honor your request.
We still have a few openings available for Scouts to be a part of this great experience. If you know of someone who is thinking about going please have them sign up as soon as possible. They can sign up online by going to http://www.myscouting.org/. Attached is a flyer explaining on how to sign up.
Attached you will find the following
1. Promotional flyer with instructions on how to sign up and a fee payment schedule with the refund policy
2. Jamboree Participant Questionnaire – please complete and return
Finally we are planning a meet and greet and information meeting with the Jamboree Contingent Leadership on Saturday, April 4th starting at 1:00 pm at Camp Balboa,
1207 Upas Street, San Diego, CA 92103. Please plan on the meeting going until 3:30 to 4:00 pm.
We look forward to seeing you on April 4th and having a great Jamboree experience.
Sincerely,
Dan Mazzella
