2010 National Jamboree

Attending the 2010 National Jamboree requires a serious financial commitment. This is true for youth, volunteer adult leaders and members of the national staff. All participants pay to attend the jamboree.

Why would adults pay to volunteer their time and service? Simply put: The national jamboree is worth the investment.

We believe families will find it is also a good investment for their sons. Sometimes the most important financial measure is not cost...but value.

 Youth Fee

The 2010 National Jamboree & Tour fee for Scouts from Greater Yosemite Council is $3,200.*

This covers shelter, food, insurance, equipment, program material, transportation, tours, and pre-jamboree training.

Families need to plan for additional expenses that include: uniforms, personal items and spending money.

*The $50 "Early Bird" discount expired on 12-1-08. A misprint on the Greater Yosemite Council website indicated the discount applied until 12-1-09. The council website was incorrect. We apologize for the miscommunication.

Adult Leader Fee

The 2010 National Jamboree & Tour fee for volunteer adult leaders is $2,218.

This covers shelter, food, insurance, equipment, program material, transportation, tours, and pre-jamboree training.

Adult leaders need to plan for additional expenses that include: uniforms, personal items and spending money.

Adult leaders are volunteers. Each adult leader gives hundreds of hours of service to the jamboree. They must attend several days of training and take an employment leave to serve the Scouts of Greater Yosemite Council.

 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.
