It's my understanding that to attend the National Jamboree you must go with
a council. You can attend as a visitor, but can't stay closer than 60
miles (I think) from the event itself if you choose this option.
To go to the National Jamboree with our council, it will cost $2500 per
boy. It's very sad that many boys won't be able to attend because it's so
cost prohibitive. There will be a small contingent that will attend as
visitors only, because it's not a council unit, for a cost of about
$1500. So they'll even miss out on quite a lot. It's too bad that the
National Jamborees are only held on the east coast, as it makes it
impossible for many Scouts on the west coast to be able to attend.
Mary.
