AJ09 - Staff Information

This event is the third International Jamboree to be held at Auchengillan International Outdoor Centre. The Jamboree offers an excellent opportunity for Scottish Scouts and Guides to camp with others from many different countries.

Staff Fee:   The Fee for Staff will be £85 which will include all food, camp services, staff facilities, neckerchief, badge and a staff polo shirt.

Staff Duties:   Serving on the staff will be a very exciting and satisfying experience; however, it will involve a great deal of hard work, long hours and commitment. Most Staff will be allocated to work in a particular department, however all staff will be expected to be multi-tasking and to help out anywhere that is required. Before the Jamboree begins, staff will be required to assist in the operation of setting up.

Accommodation:   A limited amount of indoor accommodation will be available, and an area allocated for a staff camp, separately from the four main sub-Camps.

Programme:   The formal opening will be on the Saturday night. Programmed activities will take place on Saturday afternoon and subsequently on mornings and afternoons from Monday to Friday. There will be a variety of evening and ad-hoc activities running throughout the week. The closing ceremony will take place on the Friday evening. It is expected that participants will leave the site on Saturday and there will be a staff party on the Saturday evening.

Staff Selection:   It is anticipated that a large number of staff will be required. Selection of the team will aim to ensure a balance of skills and high standards. It is possible that not all applications will be successful. Please, therefore, complete your application form as fully as possible so that enough information is available for fair selection to take place.

Applications from members of the Scout and Guide Associations are invited, but applicants must be at least 18 years of age by 31 July 2009. You will be notified as soon as a decision has been made regarding your application.
