Telephone Communications
As the frequency of cell phone usage increases, telephone usage is becoming less of an issue. There are multiple cell phone towers on the property, plus back-up capabilities in case of emergencies.
All emergency phone calls must be made to a specific number that will be sent to councils before the jamboree.
Messages will then be delivered to the person’s subcamp headquarters. Persons will then return calls from predesignated locations throughout the site.
It is important that someone be appointed to receive emergency calls that may come into the council service center during the jamboree.
Council service centers must have on file the names, addresses, and phone numbers of parents or guardians of each youth member and spouse or relative of each unit leader and staff member to contact in case of an emergency. The home and business telephone numbers must also be on file.
Each council is asked to appoint someone to be responsible for handling emergencies day and night during the jamboree. Your jamboree unit leaders must have the name and phone numbers of the key persons to contact in the council.
