How can I register?
Registrations will open in late 2023, however, expressions of interest are now open Expressions of Interest
An expression of interest (EOI) is a way to signal your potential interest in participating in the event before the applications are open. Submitting an EOI does not commit you to attend the event, but it does allow us to gauge interest and helps us in our planning efforts.
When you submit an EOI, you will be asked to provide basic information about yourself. This step also ensures that you’re among the first to know when full applications open, giving you a head start on the process.
Remember, an EOI is just a show of interest and does not guarantee a spot at the event – that’s determined later during the formal application process. However, it’s a valuable step to express your intention and stay informed about the event.
How much does it cost?
The cost of attending the Australian Scout Jamboree varies depending on a number of factors, such as location and transport arrangements. The registration fee includes accommodation, food, and all activities during the Jamboree. The Tasmanian Contingent Leader will update costs as we get closer to the event.
What do Scouts do?
Scouts who attend a Jamboree get to take part in many exciting activities both on and off-site.
Offsite activities include “Your Sights” – Maryborough tour, “Your Outback” – Pioneer Village and “Your Seaside” – Water Based Activities.
Onsite activities are many and cover a wide range of fun skills and adventure some including Obstacle courses, Mud run, Frisbee golf, Circus skills, Your craft, Your tech, Your trade and many Night activities and performances at both the Main and Mini Arena’s.
