Cito 12 Posted April 2, 2012 Share Posted April 2, 2012 I'm curious, is anyone planning to join the staff for the 2013 Jamboree? Link to post Share on other sites
sailingpj 18 Posted April 2, 2012 Share Posted April 2, 2012 I'm debating about it. I was all for it until I saw the cost of the plane tickets for me. Now I am on the fence. Link to post Share on other sites
00Eagle 32 Posted April 2, 2012 Share Posted April 2, 2012 I applied for Alpha Phi Omega's Service Corps, but we only have 20 slots (40 if we do half week shifts) and they will likely prioritze active brothers (in college). There's even reports of a rich alumnus subsidizing (beyond national's under 25 discount) the fees for the actives. If I'm not accepted, and if I have an NRA qual, I may apply as range staff.

Nike 94 Posted April 2, 2012 Share Posted April 2, 2012 I've thought about it since we'll most likely be home on COT leave. However, being asked to narrow down to three jobs overwelmed me when I saw the huge list. Still considering it. Link to post Share on other sites
Tokala 16 Posted April 2, 2012 Share Posted April 2, 2012 I have already received my appointment to the OA staff. Adult OA staff positions are very few and I managed to get one. It's going to be interesting. I have the same job as I had at A.P. Hill. That job required the need for a box truck and a couple of pickup trucks. At The Summit, I'll be limited to a golfcart.

OldGreyEagle 5 Posted April 2, 2012 Share Posted April 2, 2012 I will be on Staff in the Buckskin Games, well, rather my good friend Pierre DuMonde will be on Staff and I will be driving him. Pierre is a 18th Century Voyageur and has trouble getting a drivers license since there are no records of his birth. So, look for Pierre in the Buckskin games area, he should be easy to recognize since he will be wearing his signature red tuque and red sash Link to post Share on other sites
Trevorum 24 Posted April 2, 2012 Share Posted April 2, 2012 I've been requested to serve on staff in Relationships again. Guess I'll have to start saving my lunch money. Link to post Share on other sites
Cito 12 Posted April 2, 2012 Author Share Posted April 2, 2012 I guess I'm debating. I've never been to one, so no idea what to even ask for and I know that I'm late to the game. Any suggestions on the right approach. Once I pay for the fee and the travel I want to make sure I make a decent pick on something to do for all that time. Link to post Share on other sites
GKlose 24 Posted April 2, 2012 Share Posted April 2, 2012 My older son, who will be 16 by next summer, has already been accepted on youth staff. He is hoping for a posting to the Jamboree band. His second choice is to work "tech crew" for the Arena shows, although when job choice lists "Arena Shows" he doesn't know if that includes tech crew (which could, reasonably, be locked up by adult staff). He attended the last Jamboree and enjoyed it -- my younger son might go this time around, especially if his brother goes. We still have time to decide. Guy Link to post Share on other sites
SR540Beaver 116 Posted April 2, 2012 Share Posted April 2, 2012 OGE, Pierre does realize that he has to leave the hard cider in the vehicle once he gets to Jambo doesn't he? Link to post Share on other sites
le Voyageur 72 Posted April 3, 2012 Share Posted April 3, 2012 Can't afford the high dollar cost to be on staff. However, am considering hiring on as a raft guide with one of the local outfitters during this time. I'm sure it'll be busy, and they'll be looking for guides... Link to post Share on other sites
Eagle92 110 Posted April 3, 2012 Share Posted April 3, 2012 I aint going cause I will have 2 cubs. BUT I may visit since I found out a fried of mine has some land within 30 minutes of the site. Link to post Share on other sites
Kahuna 172 Posted April 3, 2012 Share Posted April 3, 2012 Visiting at this jamboree will be limited to a small area not inside the jambo site. If you want to visit someone, you make arrangements for them to meet you there. You will not be allowed into the jamboree itself. There is also a fee for visitors. I'm not happy with what I'm hearing about this one. I'll be too old for the next one. I hope it works out, but I don't want to be a guinea pig (at a high price). Link to post Share on other sites
SR540Beaver 116 Posted April 3, 2012 Share Posted April 3, 2012 Too old for the next one? I'm unaware of an age limit for staff. Link to post Share on other sites
OldGreyEagle 5 Posted April 4, 2012 Share Posted April 4, 2012 @SR540 Pierre is a blithe ephemeral spirit. He was present at the Cremation of Sam MaGee, a story he recounts often; had tea with Madame Marie Curie nee Sklodowska; Cigars with William Shakespeare and gave him some advice and conversed with William Henry Drummond who wrote the poem "The Voyageur". It is said by some, well Pierre and I, that the subject of this poem is Pierre himself Pierre's father ended up in New Orleans after the whole Acadia fiasco and revolutionized the food service industry, you may recognize his name, Cafe DuMonde. Pierre is no stranger to hardship, he will get along. Now, If only I could meet him as we are never in the same spot together Link to post Share on other sites
