A jamboree emblem is worn above right pocket by a Boy Scout/Venturer or Scouter who is registered to attend or attended the jamboree as a registered participant or staff member. Both a world and a national jamboree patch may be worn--one current national jamboree patch above the right pocket and one current world jamboree patch on the right pocket.
Council jamboree shoulder patches should be the same size, shape, and dimensions as the council's shoulder patch. Council jamboree shoulder patches cannot have pictorial representations or descriptive remarks relating to commercial corporations or commercial products nor should jamboree shoulder patches include the jamboree emblem.
This Jamboree Staff Guide will assist you in your preparation for a safe, secure, and successful experience at Fort A.P. Hill. Additional information will be posted on the jamboree Web site, www.bsajamboree.org. Check the Web site for monthly bulletins and online training that will be available in 2009. As you prepare to be a part of this great team, it is most important that you bring to the jamboree the Scouting spirit, a positive can-do attitude, and an obligation to live by the Scout Oath and Law. Let’s make sure we share the commitment to serve our youth members, support our fellow staff members, and welcome the public on our 100th Anniversary.

From its beginning, the Scouting movement has taught young people to do their best, to do their duty to God and country, to help others, and to prepare themselves physically, mentally, and morally to meet these goals. The basic aims of Scouting include teaching young people to take care of themselves, to be helpful to others, and to develop courage, self-reliance, and the will to be ready to serve in an emergency.
