Our council is charging $2,400 for the Jamboree. The actual fee is of course lower. Effective November 1, 2022, the price for a Contingent member registering for the Jamboree will increase to $1,500 (14% or $215) due to economic conditions such as fuel, food, and supply issues.

Couple things..... Consensus is that Third Party Releases in Districts that allow them won't be negatively impacted until the Supreme Court weighs in. Districts and Circuits like to follow their own precedent until instructed otherwise. Sorry, to say, if the plan gets District Approval then look for the certain insurers to move for a stay, quickly, while this waits for Circuit appeal. The plan could still be funded with a few million but this would only allow the Trustee to start some infrastructure and prepare for the significant funding someday. That's a good thing until there's

We had an ASM who volunteered for years. He led one of the groups at Jambo and his out of pocket was over $5K per jambo. That included air travel & hotels in Dallas to prepare. At some point, they ask far too much from volunteers.
