Memorial Day Contingent Camp out

The 3-day All Contingent Campout (May 29-31), will provide the only opportunity for all the
Jamboree Troops to work together and provide a mini-Jamboree experience for the Scouts
and adult leaders. All Scouts are required to attend this event as part of your signing up to
attend the Jamboree.
Saturday morning we will meet at 6:30 AM at the Happy Valley elementary School, we will load up and head to Scouters Mountain.  I will need a few parents to assist in shuttling scouts into the Camp Discovery area.  The Scouts will then hike up to Cub world and set up their camp sites just as they
will at the National Jamboree. During the weekend each Troop will rotate through a variety
of stations where they will learn how to prepare for the Jamboree and what they can expect
to experience during the Jamboree and tour. Some of the stations will include tour information,
keeping yourself healthy, patch trading and much more.
Scouts will also get a chance to showcase their gateways and to see the other Troop’s gateways
as well. Parents and guests will also have a chance to visit and experience a small
sample of the Jamboree experience for themselves. Parents and guests are invited to visit
on Sunday, May 30th, starting at 7:00pm. This will allow you time to visit the Troop sites and
you are also invited to stay for the arena show which begins at 8:00pm on Sunday. Everyone
will be sitting in the field at Scouter’s Mountain so you will want to bring a blanket or
small pad to sit on. Parking is very limited so please plan on carpooling if you are planning
on visiting. Visitors are not permitted at any other time as this would interfere with the Jamboree
training.
The uniform for the weekend is the Full Field uniform (Jamboree) also known as the "Class A".
Troop Hat and Jacket are required.  You may wear Scout pants for this event, but understand at Jamboree you will only be wearing scout shorts.
Pack everything in your issued duffle bag and red pack.
Parents please do not arrive early, the Jamboree committee staff will not allow you into the camp area.
There will be ample time to check out the camp site and see the evening show.
ALL SCOUTS NEED TO BRING A CAMP CHAIR (LAWN CHAIR).  This is for the dining area as well as for the evening show.
PICK UP TIME ON MONDAY is 1:30 PM.  Please pick up your Scout at Camp Discovery.
Any questions give Scoutmaster Jerry a call.
Have a Great Scouting Day!
