2013 Jamboree Troop A318

Dear Scout or Venturer,

Thank you for registering to attend the 2013 National Scout Jamboree to be held for the first time at the Summit Bechtel Reserve in West Virginia in July 2013. The East Texas Area Council Jamboree Committee is excited that you want to attend. Since you have this letter, you have already registered.

Over the next several weeks we will be signing up scouts and Venturers to be part of our council’s two contingent scout troops and one venture crew. So, if you know others that might be interested in going, please encourage them to sign up while we still have space. We will have our initial meeting this fall on October 13 in Carthage. After this meeting we will determine the makeup of our contingent units.

At this point, if you have any questions, please direct them to the Council Program Director Marie Jones at [email protected] After we determine the makeup of our units, please contact the appropriate unit leader. We have a fine roster of adult leading our contingents and they are working very hard to arrange a once in a lifetime, “mountain top” experience for you. Our venture crew advisor will be Peggy Scott from Nacogdoches. Our scoutmasters will be Matt Lindsey from Nacogdoches, TX and Paul Williamson from Tyler, TX.

COST INFORMATION: The cost for this event will be $2400, however if you stay current on payments and have your final payment made by April 1, 2013, your cost will be $2100. The $200 nonrefundable deposit was paid when you registered. $400 will then be due on August 1, 2012; October 1, 2012; December 1, 2012; February 1, 2013, and $300 will be due on April 1, 2013. The final payment is $300 on June 1 if you have not stayed current. If you know you will have an issue with one of the payments, please contact Ms. Jones and let her know your circumstances.

Sincerely,

The Jamboree Team
