On Monday, July 24th, President Donald Trump will become the eighth President of the United States to visit a national jamboree. To prepare for the excitement of a presidential visit, a few changes have been made to Monday’s schedule. In addition, specific procedures will be in place to allow for a secure, safe, and exciting environment during the president’s visit.

What are the changes? JamboLink has you covered! This is your source for all of the information needed to plan an amazing day on Monday! Let’s dive in…

Updates Since Sunday

• Everyone is encouraged to consume water during the mobilization. Fill up your water bottle before you leave your subcamp. Hydration stations will be located along the mobilization routes to refill. All allowable water bottles will have to be emptied out prior to going through the security checkpoints. Hydration stations will be available within the stadium.
• As a unit leader or staff member, you can help make the president’s visit a success by ensuring that any reactions to the president’s address are, as we state in our Scout Law, friendly, courteous, and kind. This includes understanding that chants of certain phrases heard during the campaign (e.g. “build the wall,” “lock her up”) are considered divisive by many members of our audience, and may cause unnecessary friction between individuals and units. Please help us ensure that all Scouts can enjoy this historical address by making sure that your troop members are respectful not only of the president, but of the wide variety of viewpoints held by Scouts and Scouters in the audience tonight.
• No flashlights or headlamps are allowed in the stadium
• Apply sunscreen before you leave your basecamp. Sunscreen can be brought with you but it must be in a small container (Think TSA 3oz or less)
• No keys, knives, or other sharp objects
• Small wallets are allowed, but larger wallets, and purses are not.
• The Dam between Basecamp Charlie and Gateway is one way going towards Boulder Cove starting at Noon
• Field Uniforms (“Class A”) are not required. Encourage your Scouts to wear an activity uniform (“Class B”).
• Portable/external batteries are not allowed.
