Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
Last updated 4/12/2010
Below are some common questions regarding the Jamboree. If you have questions that aren't listed here please email your question to info@cpcjamboree.org or contact the Council Office at (503) 226-3423.
When should I sign up for Jamboree?
NOW! We are limited to 468 Boy Scouts (13 Troops X 36 Scouts per Troop). We are getting very close to being full. Once full, there will be a waiting list. To sign up please click here .
How do I pay for Jamboree?
Many parents feel that they can't afford to send their son to the National Jamboree because of cost. Attending a National Scout Jamboree is a once in a lifetime opportunity for most Scouts. Each Jamboree, Scouts have earned their ENTIRE way by fund raising. Early on, Scouts can raise money on their own. Many of the Jamboree Troops will also have fund raising opportunities as well.
Click on the Fund Raising link to view just some of the ways that Scouts are earning money to pay their way to Jamboree. There will also be a SCRIP opportunity as well. Details of that program will be announced at a later date.
I paid my initial deposit, how can I make payments?
You can click here to make a Jamboree Payment. If you have any questions or can't remember your sign-on information please contact the council office.
Can I go to the Jamboree with my son?
Unlike your normal troop campouts the Jamboree is restricted to 4 adults and 36 youth. The adult selection process happened last year and in fact your Jamboree leaders have been in training since November 2009. Your Jamboree Troops WILL need your help in preparing for the trip. Your Scoutmaster will be communicating those needs to you.
Are there scholarships available to help with the cost of the Jamboree?
The scholarship application process is now closed. Those who applied by the deadline will be notified as we obtain scholarship funds.
