Planning Information
Insurance
Accident and sickness insurance will be provided to all those attending the 2023 National Jamboree. The cost of this insurance is included as part of the jamboree fee.
Jamboree coverage for registered members of the BSA is effective from the time staff members arrive on site until they depart the site at the end of their assignment. Council insurance policies cover travel periods between their home and the Jamboree site.
Scouts and leaders who are registered for official pre- or post-jamboree tourist trips will be covered during that period as well as part of their council’s insurance coverage. There is no coverage for any unofficial pre- or post-jamboree tourist trips. Scouts and leaders are also covered under this program during their pre-Jamboree training.
Scouts and leaders attending the 2023 National Jamboree as representatives of international Scout associations will be covered from their time of arrival in the United States to their arrival at the Jamboree site, during their stay at the Jamboree, and during the return to the point of departure from the United States. Jamboree service team members are also covered on the same basis. Coverage is not applicable to employees of the BSA (National and local councils) while they are covered by any statutory workers’ compensation policy.
JST (Staff) photos
As high resolution photography is widely applicable at this time, staff photos of individual teams, groups, etc should be organized by those parties and distributed to all individuals within the team, group, etc.
Lost and Found
To guard against the loss of valuables, staff should:
- Mark uniforms and personal equipment with your name and email or cell phone number.
- If you find an item at the jamboree that is not yours, please take the item(s) to the nearest Lost and Found area.
- Any items needing shipped will be done at the owner’s expense.
- Upon the completion of the Jamboree, unclaimed items will be donated to local charity or discarded.
Recycling
The Jamboree Executive Team will attempt to provide a responsible recycling effort at the 2023 National Jamboree. The waste removal and recycling program for the 2023 National Jamboree will be communicated soon. Updates on this program will be communicated as this plan is constructed.
Religious Observances
Chaplains representing many faiths will be at the jamboree to conduct services and provide personal counseling. Participants and staff members also are encouraged to visit the religious relationships area. Religious observances and chaplain services for Scouts, leaders, and staff members of all faiths will be coordinated by a chaplain.
There will be special religious services offered at the Jamboree. Jamboree chaplains of a variety of faiths will do their best to ensure that religious needs of service team members and participants can be accomodated.
