You will be one of more than 5,000 volunteers helping to operate the jamboree city of more than 30,000 Scouting residents. But running a city properly requires city planning, and that's where you come in. All services normally provided in a city must also be available at the jamboree. Electricians, plumbers, communications specialists, sanitation personnel, food service specialists, and engineers are all needed to keep this city humming. But don't think the jamboree is all work and no play.
Recreational opportunities abound for participants.
Volunteers can help in action centers which offer nine programs for Scouts including bicycle motocross, rappelling, a challenge course, trap shooting, biathlon, buckskin games, pioneering, air rifle shooting, and archery. Remote centers need volunteers with skills in boating, canoeing, scuba diving, snorkeling, kayaking, and fishing. Help is also needed in jamboree exhibit and display areas including the Merit Badge Midway, Arts and Sciences Fair, Brownsea Island Camp, K2BSA Amateur Radio Station, disability awareness trail, and daily stage shows. There's still time to submit an application, and there are many positions to choose from. Staff applications are available at the council service center.
