Welcome to the 8th Great Lakes Jamboree
The longest continuous running Jambo in Ontario.
The dates for this Jamboree of Fun and Challenging Adventure are July 12 – 19, 2008
Jambo 8 will be held at Camp BEL located in Dorchester near London Ontario!!
On behalf of the staff I would like to extend an invitation to all Scouts, Scouters, Guides and Guiders within the World Brotherhood of Scouting and Guiding to attend and be part of this wonderful Jamboree experience.
This Jambo we have “kicked it up” a notch in the program areas! You will have to
read the whole package to get it all but as a teaser, we will tell you about one
area and how it has been modified.
We have tweaked the 8 km hike, overhauled the 15 km hike program and added an
overnight 25 KM hike on the Bruce Trail for senior Scouts.
The mystery tour out-trip that was so well received last Jambo has been added to
so that it will a Troop favourite. Each Troop will have 1 main out trip and 1
other if desired at no additional cost.
We will have 7 main area villages for day programming plus the expanded
overnight Brownsea challenge and a full 5 nights of Subcamp program with 2
nights of camp wide program. There are 2 levels of canoe action, repel towers,
climbing wall, archery, rifle ranges, blacksmith forge, 3 levels of hikes and
much more. Special Opening and Closing ceremonies will add to your Jamboree
Adventure.
Cost for the Jamboree is $195 / youth, $90 /leader, plus your troop registration fee. This includes everything except your food and how you get to the site and home again.
We are always looking to maintain the price as low as possible while providing the best activities and experience for your Troop. As a team, we feel this is still the best deal anywhere for your youth in the summer of 2008.
Scouters, I urge you to read and share the details inside of this package with your youth to see how you and your Troop can have a GREAT summer Jamboree experience.
Read On and act quick! We will be cutting off registrations at 700 participants. Don’t miss out!
Yours In Scouting
