Jamboree 2013
Posted in: Uncategorized | April 28, 2011
The 23rd Australian Scout Jamboree dates have been set for 2nd- 12th January 2013. Venue: Maryborough QUEENSLAND www.aj2013.scouts.com.au
The group committee has organised an information night at the Scout Hall on Friday 6th May at 9pm (for approx half hour). The scout leaders have all attended Jamborees in the past, and can tell you the scouts are in for an awesome time. They will pop into the meeting to answer any questions, or feel free to speak to them at any time.

The other purpose of the meeting is to establish a parents sub-committee which will be responsible for organisation of fundraising events over the next 18 months. In the past the cost of the Jamboree has been fairly expensive and fundraising efforts for the last Jamboree helped parents of scouts attending to alleviate the total cost. At this stage final costs have not been advised, however this is the time to get started.
Don’t forget, there are minimum requirements all scouts must meet to be eligible to attend a jamboree, these are:
- 10 nights under canvas with 4 consecutive nights (in the scout section, cub experience does not count)
- achieve their Pioneer (big red) badge, that’s 3 target badges, a patrol activity and a challenge badge
There’ll be more information over the coming months, but if your Scout (or older cub who will be eligible) is interested in going, please come to this introductory meeting!
