The camping operations model is changing from recent Jamborees, as it relates to living quarters and activities. Here are some specifics to help you understand what to expect:
- BSA Policy will be enforced.
- Jamboree staff sleep in tents at various locations, depending on their job assignment.
- Staff must provide a personal tent not to exceed 10’x10′. Staff campsites are assigned by team. Some modifications to this plan occur based on responsibilities. Please confirm with your team lead on whether a tent will be provided based on your role at the Jamboree.
- Staff will have the opportunity to tent individually, if proving their own tent.
- Cots will be made available to all staff on loan and must be returned at the conclusion of the Jamboree.
- There will not be electricity provided for each tent; however, there will be charging areas available.
- Each base camp has assigned leadership, shower & restroom facilities, medical assistance, and dining structure to support essential accommodations while at the Jamboree.
- Staff members will be dining in one of the three dining halls. Dining hall assignment will be based on the assigned campsite.
