Councils will be receiving the Travel Advisory Information form by the end of December for council contingents (troops). It must be completed and returned no later than January 31, 2005, to Jamboree Transportation Services, S402.
We expect all council contingents will understand the need for these security precautions, since a part of the jamboree mission statement pledges to provide a secure setting for our Scouts, leaders, staff, and visitors.
Buses bringing the Scouts and leaders and their equipment vehicles must arrive together at Fort A.P. Hill. Arrival times will be between the hours of 6 A.M. to 4 P.M., and contingents must be set up in their campsites no later than 5 P.M. To facilitate this, council contingents/troops need to rendezvous with their equipment vehicle at least seven miles away from the fort. This simple step is not optional; it is a security requirement. Everyone on the bus will be required to have a photo ID, and drivers must have a valid driver's license.
Contingent vans, buses, and equipment trucks will be allowed to enter the base between the hours of 6 A.M. and 4 P.M. on July 25, 2005.
