The national Supply Division has distributed the 2001 National Scout Jamboree Preliminary Package Plans Announcement and Tentative Order Form, No. 70-067, for tentative ordering of troop and patrol equipment and tentage. Firm prices will be released midsummer this year. Supply Division equipment meets these specifications. The jamboree radio station, QBSA, will be an excellent source of information and entertainment for the subcamps. The station will also offer Scouts the chance to be radio operators covering events onsite.
Scouts can also take a crack at being a DJ on a live broadcast.
Scouts can sign up at the radio station and receive training before going on the air. When Scouts take the controls, the station will tape the broadcast and present it to the Scouts as they leave. The experience will allow the Scouts to complete some merit badge requirements. Scouts are encouraged to bring small radios to the jamboree, but not boom boxes. Jamboree Web Site Jamboree information, news, and pictures will be available on the Internet nearly as fast as it happens.
