Hi there: Thinking of the future and CJ '07. Has anyones groups gone to CJ '01 in PEI? If so, what what your individual scout fee that was charged? We're...
Our group had a target of between $900-1000 per youth/leader. Our sponsor (RCL) and a local service club (Lions) raised substantial funds for us, reducing the...
For us, being at the other end of the country, travel was a much bigger concern than the Jamboree fee. Also consider food, spending money, badges, special...

Holy cow! That seems a little high. My group paid about $1200 per person from Edmonton. I'll try to dig out my records and get the exact amount....
Check airfare from Yellowknife to Edmonton and you'll see it's right in the same ballpark, actually. We also tend to live a bit "high on the hog", including...

I commented earlier about the scanty map and compass requirements outlined in Scoutcraft Badge requirements I had seen. I have had a look through the Scout...
What would you like to see? The program asks them to know the 16 points, basic symbols and how to take and follow bearings. Could it be more detailed in what...
I hope all leaders remember each youth works on different capabilities. For some youth the basic skills will be challenging enough to learn. Especially if...
Technical topics such as these are dangerous if not covered thoroughly. I think map and compass should cover at least: topographic map symbols, contours,...

I can agree with your sentiment although I'd probably argue that Scouting doesn't teach "real bushcraft skills". Personally I've been involved for around 25...
I don't doubt you are right describing the present state of affairs. Previously, however, they were necessary. I remember my first class journey well. We would...
I would argue that it is up to the leader(s) [along with others] to provide an opportunity for the Scout to learn a skill (ideally in an outdoor setting),...

I, for one, am NOT content with the program so I try to teach the material much more in-depth than is actually specified. And in order to help me do this,...
Agreed. But it's a heck of a lot shorter to just tell you that I teach my Scouts various skills rather than to provide a full written description of the...
The Scout Shop in Edmonton is out of Venturer handbooks with none expected until August. The shop manager reported: "There are no books available anywhere,...

Thanks for the info. The Edmonton shop is bringing some in from Winnipeg for me (thanks Valinda!) I had asked if a new edition was coming out and was told: ...
Has anybody got the exact dates for CJ '07. So far I've only been able to determine that it's in the summer. I'm trying to determine if the date overlaps WJ...
I was told they would not. However, I was also told that "CJ's are a Scout event, WJ's are a Venturer event." I would not be surprised to see the problems...
