August 1 to August 12, 2023 Oct 7 2022…. WAIT LIST – The US Contingent Management Team has made the decision to allow potential youth participants to join a waiting list for the US Contingent to the 2023 World Jamboree. This is an effort to ensure that every possible available space is filled and ensure that as many as
possible who desire to go to this once-in-a-lifetime event have the opportunity to do so. Spaces will not be filled on a First Come, First Served basis.Instead spaces will be filled from the waiting list according to available spaces in units and other considerations such as geographical location. Those who wish to join the waiting list will be asked to pay a $2367.00 deposit. This will bring them up to the current amount due for all participants. Any not selected will receive a full
refund. To register go to events.scouting.org Be sure you are logged into my scouting using the youth’s account for whom you will be registering. If you are having issues with registration, payment, or cancellation, send an email to . Please include your name, Scouting ID Number, your email and phone number, and a description
of your issue. The World Scout Jamboree [WSJ] is held every four years. The Jamboree is an event of the World Organization of the Scout Movement [WOSM], attended by 50,000 Scouts from around the world. In 2023, it will be hosted by the Korean Scout Association at a new site in SaeManGeum, South Korea. The WSJ offers a wide range of programs, from high adventure to learning about sustainable
development. Everyone who attends a World Scout Jamboree leaves with friends from around the world, and memories that will last a lifetime. The
BSA International Committee will select leaders of the Contingent Management Team in 2021. The CMT will organize the USA Contingent to the Jamboree. Units will consist of 36 Scouts and four adult leaders. The CMT will coordinate a tour of South Korea prior to the Jamboree experience. Details on logistics, cost, schedule and leadership will be available at a later date. World Jamborees are expensive, so if you plan on attending, it is a good idea to start saving now.
The 2015 Jamboree in Japan cost about $5,500 USD per Scout and adult volunteer.
