Jambo information – 3 days and counting

Dear Troop 1032 Scouts and Parents,

Some additional points of clarification for our Jamboree trip:

1. Daypacks – scouts are encouraged to use the day packs issued for the trip, but can use a similar sized day pack if they already have one they prefer (i.e. a camelback type day pack). Remember this pack will be with them in the bus so the replacement pack must be about the same size as the one we issued.
2. Electronics – scouts may bring electronics on the bus.  However, those should be packed up when we arrive in Washington D.C. and stay packed until we leave.  If we find scouts are using them at Jamboree, we will confiscate them and give them back when we board the bus at the end of Jamboree.
3. Mess kits – we have the cooking equipment and plates.  Scouts should bring utensils and if they have room, I would suggest they bring a mess kit.  If they don’t have room, utensils will be sufficient.
4. Snacks on the bus – snacks will be allowed on the bus.  However, the rules governing their use are as follows:  items not allowed – caffeinated/energy drinks, candy/sugar snacks, and anything else that might inhibit scouts’ ability to sleep; clean-up will be scouts’ responsibility – if the bus is left in a mess, snacks will NOT be allowed for the remainder of the trip.  As a reminder, we will not be stopping for dinner en route to the Jamboree, so scouts should either eat before arriving at the council service center in La Grange, or bring something with them to eat on the bus.  If your scout is susceptible to motion sickness, please take all appropriate precautions before arriving at the service center.
5. Patch placement – insignia guide may be found here.  Please note, the insignia guides have not been updated to show the circular “ring” patch that goes around the purple world crest patch over the left pocket.  The nameplates will be distributed to the scouts to attach to their uniforms when we are on the bus leaving La Grange.
