Scheduled Programs

1. I have a conflict with another scheduled program because my contingent is in multiple subcamps. What should I do?

a. Stop by Pigott HQ upon arrival and we will deconflict the schedule and get you all four scheduled events. We commit to getting 100% of the participants with a conflict all the events IF they come to Pigott in the first 24 hours after arrival. Summit Apex schedule will get priority since it includes dinner for every attendee. This means that if you have rafting and Summit Apex on the same day, we will schedule your rafting. Rescheduling will NOT be done before arrival. Please wait and come see us at Pigott HQ after you set-up camp.

2. Can I pick a different time than when I’m assigned?

a. Unless rescheduled by Program staff at Pigott HQ, you must attend your program at the assigned time. These events have limited logistical capacity and there is not enough flexibility to handle walkups. All of these events run regardless of weather. Bring rain gear!

3. What if my contingent is in multiple subcamps?

a. If your contingent is in multiple subcamps, you will be split for many of the scheduled activities since they are unit-based.

4. I didn’t sign up for rafting in advance, can I purchase a ticket?

a. A limited number of additional rafting tickets will be made at the Jamboree. No new sales will be made until the third day of the Jamboree so that we can reschedule all conflicting itineraries for those that paid in advance.

b. If you plan on trying to purchase a ticket at the Jamboree, please have your parent/guardian sign a waiver and bring it with you. 

5. Do I need a signed waiver for rafting?

a. Yes. Participants will not be permitted to raft without a signed waiver. All youth require the signature of a parent or guardian. Find the waiver here: https://jamboree.scouting.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/6/2023/06/Whitewater-BSA-Release.pdf 

6. What is the schedule for rafting?

a. Rafting will operate for a full day and three scheduled departure times, including Thursday, the last day of Jamboree.

7. How does dinner work for our assigned night of Summit Apex?

a. Dinner for your assigned night at Summit Apex will only be available at the event in Basecamp Echo. There will be no dinner service in your subcamp that night.

8. What is Leadership Heights and who are the speakers?

a. Check out https://leadershipheights.org/unit-information

9. My scheduled event is during a Basecamp Bash, what do I do?

a. Some scheduled events will conflict with Basecamp Bashes. There are four (4) Basecamp Bashes and all troops will have at minimum two of them available to them based on the schedule.

10. Is Summit Apex for the full unit?

a. Yes, your full unit should attend at Summit Apex as a group.

11. When should my unit arrive to Summit Apex in Echo?
