Independent Travel is where a Contingent member organises their own travel to the Jamboree. In other words, you book your own flights and make your own way to Maryborough.
The Contingent will organise to collect you from Maryborough before the Jamboree. After the Jamboree, we will drop you back in Maryborough. Contingent members cannot be dropped directly at the Jamboree site due to security at the gate to ensure the safety of all Jamboree participants.
There is an adjusted fee for Independent Travel.
The Contingent may be able to accommodate changes to independent travel arrangements after 31 March 2024. However, there will be no independent travel rebate for changes made after the application closing date of 31 March 2024.
