It is an inherent requirement for adults attending the Jamboree that they be independently capable of, and willing to, perform their assigned role, which may be physically demanding and over an extended period. Adults who are unable to meet the inherent requirements such as outdoors, sun, heat and dust are invited to discuss their situation with their Contingent Leader.
Adults attending the event acknowledge that any work performed at the event is on a voluntary basis.
Adults attending the event understand that they must comply with any reasonable direction by a member of the event management team, a Branch leadership team, or any delegate of either body.
Medical Obligaitions
Should your medical condition or regular medication change from the information provided on your medical statement in any way before departure for the Jamboree, it is your obligation to update your application details or advise your Branch Contingent of the change.
