Consider a Jamboree Staff position - without qualified volunteers like YOU we cannot make the National Jamboree a success!
Jamboree staff positions are open to adult men and women who meet required qualifications. Adult staff members must be registered members of the Boy Scouts of America and must be 21 years old by the time the Jamboree starts. Youth staff members will need to be between 16 and 21 years of age and be registered members of the Boy Scouts of America by the time Jamboree starts.
Jamboree staff provides all the support and program services needed for an outstanding event. Volunteer staff operates everything from bus and telephone systems to a hospital and first-aid stations, police and fire departments, post offices, banks, food warehouses, a daily newspaper, and retail stores (trading posts).
Staff also provides the support for all the program and activity areas (like archery, rifle shooting, zip lines, biking, scuba diving) arena shows, and merit badge midway.
Jamboree staff will provide service in the following areas:
|
Relationships
International
Media/Communications
Special Events
Exhibits and Displays
Outback
Youth Programs
City Services
|
Public Safety
Physical Arrangements
Special Food Service
Subcamp Staff
Regional Action Centers
|
These were the position areas listed for the 2005 Jamboree, but they will be similar in 2010. We do not have information from National yet, but expect information by early winter (we hope).
In the past, when National BSA puts out the call for staff, they will have you fill out a national staff application, which is then taken into the Winnebago Council office for approval by the Winnebago Council. Our Council then sends it on to National.
From that point on, you will work with National BSA and your staff area on all the details you will need to be a staff member at the Jamboree. The Winnebago Council staff will not be able to help you with this. National will give you contact information that you can call with questions.
Most Jamboree staff positions have you coming out before the Jamboree starts for the boys. You will set up your area and staff it during the Jamboree. You will have time off from your staff area to tour the Jamboree and visit your sons.
As soon as National BSA gives us the current information for staffing, it will be posted on our web site.
