Future Scout Day
Ever wondered what being a Scout was all about? Well here’s your chance! Become a Scout for a day on Saturday 9 January 2010 at the AJ2010 Future Scout Day. Future Scout Day is an opportunity for Cub Scouts to get a small taste of what an Australian Jamboree is all about. The day will run from 9:00 am to 4:00 pm.
Saturday 9 January 2010 is also Market Day. Market Day is a break from the normal activities that Scouts get to participate in. Instead the Scout Troops put on their thinking hats and come up with weird and wonderful things to sell to other Troops in exchange for Jambore Dollars.
Since all the Scouts will be having fun participating in Market Day the On Site Activities will be open to Future Scouts only. This gives Future Scouts a chance to have a go on all the great AJ2010 activities with out having to compete with Scouts for a go.
Attending on Future Scout Day
Online registration is a must so we know how many people to expect on the day and how many great Future Scout Day Awards to order. Registering by the closing date will also assist us in giving all Future Scouts a smooth entry into the site without standing in long boring queues for hours on end.
Please note that if you haven’t registered you will not be allowed in the AJ2010 site.
Transport to the Jamboree site will be by coach as there is minimal parking and you could be in for a long walk. These coaches and pick up points will be organised by your Regional Commissioner Cub Scouts, who will pass on details via Seeonees (Cub Scout Leader meetings).
Registration and collection point of Future Scout Day Awards will be NSW Contingent Headquarters. The future Scout Day Awards will be presented to Future Scouts who complete the allocated tasks set down in the Future Scout Day Book issued at registration.
