This Jamboree Staff Guide will assist you in your preparation for a safe, secure, and successful experience at Fort A.P. Hill. Additional information will be posted on the jamboree Web site, www.bsajamboree.org. Check the Web site for monthly bulletins and online training that will be available in 2009. As you prepare to be a part of this great team, it is most important that you bring to the jamboree the Scouting spirit, a positive can-do attitude, and an obligation to live by the Scout Oath and Law. Let’s make sure we share the commitment to serve our youth members, support our fellow staff members, and welcome the public on our 100th Anniversary.
From its beginning, the Scouting movement has taught young people to do their best, to do their duty to God and country, to help others, and to prepare themselves physically, mentally, and morally to meet these goals. The basic aims of Scouting include teaching young people to take care of themselves, to be helpful to others, and to develop courage, self-reliance, and the will to be ready to serve in an emergency.
