Eamonn 61 Posted March 27, 2004 Share Posted March 27, 2004 I have just finished viewing the video of the 2001 Jamboree. I have plans to show it next month at a Jamboree Troop meeting. Have to admit to spending a lot of time playing with it, in order to pause it at the very small shot of our gateway. While I know that many of the people who are in charge of organizing troops have now filled them and in our Council we have a waiting list. If you are trying to recruit Scouts to attend this video is excellent. It really goes a long way to show how much fun Scouting can be and is. Does anyone know if it is available on DVD?

nldscout 18 Posted March 27, 2004 Share Posted March 27, 2004 Is this the 25 min one you had to buy or the 5 min promotional one? The 5 min Promo is on DVD. Link to post Share on other sites
Eamonn 61 Posted March 28, 2004 Author Share Posted March 28, 2004 I have the promo on DVD. This was the one that I had to put my hand in my pocket for. Eamonn Link to post Share on other sites
Proud Eagle 13 Posted March 30, 2004 Share Posted March 30, 2004 I for one was very disappointed in the video. I wanted something that was like a mini-documentary on the Jamborree. Perhaps a video scrap book if you will. What I got was a cheesy promo video that didn't really do a very good job of showing what it was like to be there. It also left out most of the things I most wished I had a video of to remember things by. I heard that the shows staff put together a video of their own that is superior to the official one.

Eamonn 61 Posted March 31, 2004 Author Share Posted March 31, 2004 One Lad who attended the last Jambo was very active with his video camera. I asked if I could see the tape and he told me that I wasn't old enough. It seems that the tape would be better used to promote a restaurant that uses Owls as its' logo.

CTBoyScout101 10 Posted April 22, 2004 Share Posted April 22, 2004 I think you could probably pick up the promotinal DVd on the main sites like ebay, if someone is auctioning it, or you can try the usual Boy Scout retails. I have never seen the DVD version, but the video one was sure worth the money. Helps bring great expectations to the next Jamboree in 2005, can't wait! -CTBoyScout101 Link to post Share on other sites
