Fee also covers the training camps before the Jamboree, and items such as a shirt, patches, hat, rain jacket, and Jambo duffle bag to each Contingent member. Additional expense will be any personal equipment, uniforms, spending money and whitewater rafting (optional). This fee is based upon estimated transportation and hotel costs. If those costs increase, we may have to increase the Jamboree fee accordingly. We will be engaging in fundraising activities to keep costs down. Some scholarship funds will be available. Early Jamboree registration, and request for scholarship assistance in writing are strongly encouraged, since these funds will be limited.

In the event that there is not an alternate, a partial refund will be made. This includes the fees that you have paid to date, less any expenses related to contractual agreements on your behalf.
