T2Eagle Posted June 18, 2011 Share Posted June 18, 2011 Has anyone else tried to register themselves or a scout for Jambo? One of the interesting things was that when we began to register a cell phone number was a required field. This is the best news eldest son has had in a long time. He takes this to mean he's allowed to get a cell phone now so he can go to Jambo. Also interesting is that you can't seem to finish the process yet. After entering all his information, albeit with my cell #, the site says "next action required: pending parent approval", but there doesn't seem to be any way to do the parental approval. The site also says; "The 2013 Jamboree application system is being developed in stages. The administrative processes will not be available until August 1, 2011. Applications will remain in a "Pending Review" status until then." I'm curious what experience other folks have had. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tell him that when it asks for his address, it means he is allowed to move out on his own too!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BluejacketScouter Posted June 18, 2011 Share Posted June 18, 2011 Doesn't mean you have to give him one. It's probably so they can add it to the text-message alert system for severe weather and other emergencies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
qwazse Posted June 19, 2011 Share Posted June 19, 2011 It probably means he will be subject to some cleaver marketing schemes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CalicoPenn Posted June 19, 2011 Share Posted June 19, 2011 Does that mean if you don't have a cell phone you can't go to Jambo? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
