The cost for the National Jamboree is $1,700.00. This includes the National fee, transportations and food, and gear.  Gear includes a day pack, duffle bag for packing, 2 Class B shirts, patches for Class A, Council patch sets to trade/keep, and use of a tent and cot. From the beginning, the staff has set a goal to raise money through local companies to help reduce the cost. We have already secured a $3,000.00 donation. All money raised will be divided evenly amongst everyone attending Jamboree. Once we have secured all donations a new total will be shared and we share how money will be refunded. Refund for this purpose refers to the money refunded to each attendee as a result of additional funds raised and not a refund if your Scout doesn’t attend Jamboree.

Part of the Jamboree experience is building relationships with new Scouts in the Muskingum Valley Council prior to attending Jamboree. For this purpose we will have a variety of weekend and day events planned for those attending the Jamboree. All dates will be listed at the bottom of the email. We will discuss additional meeting dates and monthly Zoom check-in meetings during the Aug. 21 Parent/Scout Meeting.
