What things can be done in advance to best prepare for the Jamboree?

Active participation in your home troop, and our Contingent meetings and activities will

be the best preparation. This will also keep you “sharp” in remembering those items that we

always seem to forget for outings and wish that we had taken. Also, a regular program of modest

fundraising activity will be helpful for each Scout to earn spending money and to pay the

Jamboree fees. Youth leadership service is a terrific way to get a great deal out of the Jamboree

experience without missing any of the fun and adventure. If there are major items of personal

equipment that you need to get, such as uniforms, a sleeping bag, a daypack or boots, maybe

these can coincide with Birthday or Holiday presents. If you begin to get your personal

equipment and gear in order, you can see how it will all fit in, and the job of packing will be

easier when the time comes.
