Q
A

Will the Jamboree be based on the patrol system?
Jamborees are simply an extension of the Scout Troop where patrols get a chance to hone their scouting skills. It provides 8 days where scouts in their allocated patrols can work together as a team, lead by their elected Patrol Leader and supported by their adult leaders.

Q

Does this mean, if I have 37 Scouts, that I have to tell one that they can’t go?
Trying to make a patrol of 7 doesn’t really fit but there are heaps of options available to you to fit the specified criteria of 36 scouts and 10 Leaders.
