:::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::
World Scout Jamboree 2011International Commissioner Wayne Perry recently announced that promotional materials for the 2011 World Scout Jamboree (WSJ) will be released during the Boy Scouts of America’s (BSA’s) National Annual Meeting in May. This will include the official launch of the BSA’s 2011 WSJ Web site and online registration materials. There will be a special elective held at the National Annual Meeting for International Representatives (IRs). The session will include a presentation about the jamboree site by the jamboree director, special guest Göran Hägerdal. A live demonstration of how to register online will be included in this elective session. All applicants – youth, leaders, and staff (International Service Team members) – will be required to register online. Join us for a jumpstart on this registration process.
National Annual MeetingElective at the National Annual Meeting: Sweden in 2011. This elective, presented by BSA’s International Committee, will focus primarily on promotional plans for the 2011 WSJ in Sweden. Meet the BSA’s promotional team and members of the Swedish Scout Association, who will share the most up‐to‐date information regarding site and program preparations. In addition to jamboree plans, learn about other international travel opportunities available for members of your local council.
::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::
I just have to include the National Annual Meeting as part of the update because if you are going to the meeting and have the time to slip in the Sweden in 2011 Elective then I would highly suggest that you do so.
I hope to see some of you in Sweden in 2011. I just submitted my Adult Contingent Leader Application for the event and am hoping that Western Region will approve it so I can participate.

WSJ 2011 Update One
BSA National Council has just recently released some new information regarding the 2011 World Scout Jamboree which is going to be held in Sweden. The recently just put a registration system up for the Jamboree. The registration system is similar to the online system used for the 2010 National Jamboree. The Fee for youth staff members in $1,750 but that does not include airfare. Youth staff are between the ages of 18 and 25. Adult staff are 26 years old and older. The adult staff fee which also does not include airfare is 1,950. Also the staff fee does not include a touring package. This is standard procedure for WSJ staff. The participant fee is going to be 3,525 it may change slightly but that price is definitely cheaper than the participant fee for the 2007 WSJ. This participant fee applies to adult leaders who attend as Troop leaders and to all youth going as part of a scouting unit.
Another thing is that the BSA will be releasing more information about this event during its May 2009 National ANnual Meeting. Also sometime in May the BSA should have a WSJ 2011 jamboree website up and running.
Until more information is known that is all I have for the first update. Hope to see you in Sweden.
I am also looking for Scouts and Scouters from around the World to share stories regarding there previous jamboree experience. This will be used to promote what a World Scout Jamboree is really about.
