The 32nd Scottish International Patrol Jamborette will be held at Blair Castle, Blair Atholl, Perthshire, Scotland.
Scottish Staff arrive on Saturday 17th July, Scottish Scouts arriving on Monday 19th and Overseas Contingents arriving at camp on Tuesday 20th July. All scouts will depart on Friday 30th July and all Staff leaving on Saturday 31st July. The Scottish Scouts and staff are offering home hospitality after the camp up to Wednesday 4th August.
The camp is open only to Scouts over 13 years of age and under 18 years of age on 17th July 2010.
A Patrol consists of not more than 6 Scouts, including the Patrol Leader. The Scouts can be composed of Scouts from a single Troop, or from several troops. Patrols which include female Scouts are welcome and will be fully integrated into the Camp. An Association may send more than one Patrol. In this case Patrols may form a national contingent or they may travel independently. Each International Patrol will camp with a Scottish Patrol. A Scottish and an overseas patrol operated as one unit. The Scottish Patrol will provide tents and cooking equipment for both patrols. Cooking is done in patrols over wood fires. Dining shelters will be constructed in each patrol site with pioneering timber.
There will be an exciting programme of Scouting Activities. For activities see Activities at Blair Atholl. And of course a real opportunity to make new friends.
For Scouts from out with Scotland, only personal camp equipment is required.
Other camping equipment will be provided by the Scottish Patrol who receive a detailed kit list in due course from their local Blair Atholl representative.
The Camp Fee is set at £185 for Scottish Participants in 2010.
The Camp Fee is set as GBP 225 for overseas participants (plus the cost of any bank charges) in 2010.
The Fee includes all food, activities, camp badge and neckerchief. For Scouts from out with Scotland it also covers additional travel costs within Scotland to and from a central meeting point, overnight stays at Scout halls on arrival and before final departure as required to meet your individual needs.
Any additional costs for participation in Home Hospitality will be covered by the overseas camp fees.
See the Application / Administration Page Link at bottom of the page for payment details.
Transport will be provided to the Jamborette from Edinburgh or Glasgow (or Aberdeen for Norwegian or Swedish Scouts only) on Tuesday 20th July after an optional overnight stay in a scout hall.
There are a large number of Scottish Staff supporting the event.
The number of overseas adult leaders with each patrol should be limited to the minimum number necessary to supervise the travel. Overseas Leaders will not camp with their Patrols, but will be integrated into the camp staff. Overseas leaders will be expected to work as part of the overall staff team. There is a free staff "cafe" available to chill out with friends after work.
Check out the range of activities on this website. It shows all the activities on offer at the 2008 camp and scouts attending had therefore an idea of their activity choices BEFORE even arriving at camp. This Activity page will be updated for 2010 near the camp date.
