 Jamboree Staff Application Procedure
Jamboree staff applications are submitted online directly to the national office. An electronic process has been developed for councils’ review, evaluation, and approval. The website will be accessible through www.MyScouting.org for volunteers. BSA employees may access it through www.MyBSA.org.
Volunteer applicants must first create a MyScouting account if they do not already have one. To create an account, a BSA member ID is needed. The number is printed on the scout membership card. It is also available from troop records and the council office (209-545-6320).
You will also need the council number. Greater Yosemite Council is number 059.
Detailed account creation and registration assistance is available in the Staff Registration Help.
To complete the applicaiton process, log-in to myscouting.org. Click on "Event Reservations" followed by “Jamboree.” Choose the "Staff Application" link. There is a $100 non-refundable deposit due at the time of application payable by credit card.
Jamboree Staff Clearance Procedure
The procedure for handling staff recruitment is as follows:
- The home council evaluates and approves applicant's qualifications.
- The region reviews applicant and approves or declines.
- Approved staff applications are routed to directors for selection.
- When selected, the prospective staff member is offered a position.
The electronic online application does not guarantee a staff position. Local councils determine who may participate at a national scout jamboree. Once the application is fully approved, it will be offered to the staff director of the applicant's first preference as indicated on the application.
There will be no exceptions to these procedures.
The staff application includes a section for the applicant to list in order of preference five staff positions he or she would like to work at the jamboree. Every effort will be made to assign individuals to the staff group of their choice.
National Staff Fee
Thousands of volunteers from across the nation "pay to work" at the national jamboree. These individuals not only provide many days of volunteer service, they cover their own travel expenses and other incidentals. The jamboree would not be possible without their dedication.
