2005 National Scout Jamboree Staff Needed

[wagionvigil]

Just heard from Central Region. Their Rappel Tower is complete But they need staff on Action Alley and the Confidence Course.

I sent in my application today. Given the lateness of my request, there is no need for disappointment if it's denied, just elation if it's accepted

Speaking of the Jambo, the September newsletter is now available:

I sent my application in on Monday or Tuesday. I listed my prefers as photography, rappelling, web design, daily ceremonies, or security/parking.

How bout you?

[optimist]

I basically went down the media list: Webmaster, Internal Communications, Jamboree Radio (hope that's broadcast, not ham), Jamboree Today, and Leader's Journal.

Action Center D NER still needs 150 warm bodies. Will Train!!!

[hops_scout]

You know if I was in the NE region, I'd be there!

We'll see what happens and where/if I end up.

[wagionvigil]

We will take anyone from any region just put attention Noprtheast region on your application in red Letters

[hops_scout]

Dang it... I already sent my application in! Rats... I would have liked to be doing rappelling. Oh well, we'll see what I do get.

[hops_scout]

Optomist, that'd be sweet if we ended up working together at Jambo, huh?

[optimist]

Yep, figure if I get in I'll be meeting a lot of new folks

2005 will be my 3rd staffing. I have great friends from those other two Jamborees. We all stay in touch also most are returning to do it all over next summer. Quite honestly the day we get home next August we will start planning all over again for 2010

Northeast Region still has 130 staff positions iopen for the action center.If you are from Southern or Central Regions and want to be on staff and your area is full you can be on our staff.

[hops_scout]

You still got people needed for the rappelling part?

You think that National or council (whatever) would send my application to you even though i didnt specify to do so if you are in need of rappelling people because that was my number 1 choice?

[wagionvigil]

Have your council contact central region and get them to forward it to Northeast when they get it. It may work

[optimist]

I stopped by the Service Center on Monday and was told by the guy who processes the applications that he remembered mine being approved and sent on weeks ago. We know each other pretty well so I know he wasn't just dodging the issue. He said when he submitted his own he didn't hear from the region for three months! Since he's the Subcamp 19 Duty Officer, he was approved PRIOR to submittal

[wagionvigil]

You will get a Blue Card from Texas when they get it. AT least that what the ACtion Center People Get/ It says your application has been receieved and you will get a letter later after it is processed
