witai 10 Posted April 29, 2010 What do you think of the plan to ask for a $10 donation from each visitor to the Jamboree? First time I can remember that visitors were asked to pay to get in to the Jamboree? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kahuna 171 Posted April 29, 2010 Good idea. Visitors cause problems at jamborees: traffic, more porta-potties, use medical facilities, need directions and worst of all they try to participate in activities. I think a $10 admission donation is a good deal for all concerned. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
emb021 12 Posted April 29, 2010 Yeah, but what about the people who will now think that since they DID pay that $10 admission fee, that they are now entitled to participate in the activities... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
nldscout 17 Posted April 30, 2010 Let them think what they want, just make sure the rules are fully explained when they arrive. I think $10 is to little considering the facilities available to them. I think $25 would be better, unless they can show a $100 dollar FOS donation proof, then they get in for $10. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Twocubdad 660 Posted April 30, 2010 I'm paying a hefty sum for my two sons and myself to attend. $10 per day for visitors seems very reasonable. Anyone paid to go to a movie lately? How about the local theme park? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Eamonn 60 Posted April 30, 2010 Twocubdad As yet I haven't made up my mind if I will visit the Jamboree or not. But I'd be happy to pay whatever the donation is to meet up with you and the other forum members. Last Jamboree, I got to hang out for a while with our friend Bob White. Ea.

Oak Tree 15 Posted May 1, 2010 Ditto what Twocubdad said (identical wording, actually). Maybe we should meet up? I think the fee depends on what you're trying to accomplish. The only reason to make it free, I think, would be if you viewed it as an advertisement. But I can't really see that - so recouping some of the costs seems entirely reasonable.
