When I first became involved with the Jamboree experience in 2001, our contingent coordinator shared with us the origin of the term Jamboree. I haven't seen any mention of this on the list and thought it would be an interesting bit of Scout Lore to pass on to your ScoutsWe all know the fascination Baden Powell had with the African cultures he was exposed to while serving in the British Army. Searching for a name of his first gathering of Scouts & Scouters, he took the Swahili word "Jambo", which means "Hello". I remind my Troop members of this to reinforce one of the primary purposes of the Jamboree, which is to make new friendships. Gleaned from the Jamboleader discussion list, contributed byPaul Kerschner

In my "free time" I have been looking at the suggested lists and added some experience and come up with some "What to bring" sheets. These are not polished as there is redundancy in some of the lists from national. These are also available with graphics on a Word Document if you'd like to customize. Let me know if I should add or delete anything. Leader stuff lists are coming soon.

Only thing I will be taking is ‘Extra Water “ to Show. Also, In 97 when we had to be there an extra hour waiting for the area to be fixed up for the President… We sat in the hot sun for an hour ! I was commish for a troop from New Jersey who had given me deck of cards from a casino.. It had a hole drilled thru the deck I gave them away to entertain a nice group of boys who were sitting in front of me. ( they were starting to get restless ) Be sure to Take your rain coat / poncho in your day Pack wherever you go. ( Never know when & where… J )

Plan on living in a large tent for the jamboree? I would be glad to email plans for a tent platform that folds to 4 foot by 4 foot for transport and will keep you nice and dry during the jamboree. Includes a clothes closet (well a rod to hang your clothes). File is Microsoft Word format, also available as a Microsoft Visio file. Specify when you request plans. If these formats won't work, let me know and we can try to create other formats. Ripped from Jamboleader as posted by Mike Schatzberg (Plans link below)

Instead of buying a cot organizer from Cabella’s (Item #7 on the “Helpful Hints” list), you may want to consider bringing along a ( 1 or more) carpenter’s nail apron instead, to store those little bedside items (glasses, flashlight, etc.). They’re a lot cheaper than the cot organizer, especially since I was able to get my local hardware store to donate a few to me before the last Jambo. Contributed by George Jung
