Jamborees are possible thanks to thousands of support staff who are scout leaders just like you. Staffers can have just as much fun as jamboree troop leaders and Scouts and Venturer participants. Some advantages of working staff include:
- You enjoy the same jamboree spirit over 30,000 Scouts, Venturers and leaders enjoy.
- You usually work a day then have the next day off for fun.
- Unlike jamboree troop leaders, once your shift is done, most of your work responsibilities are off duty as well.
If you are a parent of a scout attending, volunteering for staff is a way to share the experience yet still give your scout or venturer room to explore and make new friends during Scouting’s mountaintop experience.
