How much does it cost?
The final fee is not yet known but is likely to be in the region of £3-3,500 which covers everything, including food and transport. As with all Scouting activities, we don’t want people to be put off applying to attend the Jamboree on financial grounds:
- East Surrey District plan to subsidise the fee to a certain amount.
- Your Group may be willing to subsidise the cost and will also support your fundraising activities
- Other bursaries and financial support may be available at a local and national level
- Fundraising is part of the experience, and past participants have found it possible to fundraise their whole fee!
