Pre-Jamboree:

Commencing in the Fall of 2025, the NH Contingent will begin meeting monthly to: (1) build Troop/Crew cohesiveness; (2) communicate critical dates/information; (3) ensure completion of Jamboree/Excursion logistics; and (4) ensure 100% alignment amongst the scouts, leaders, Council, and parents.  These monthly meetings will be mandatory.  Each meeting will be composed of fun outdoor scouting activities that will bond the NH Contingent members into one cohesive unit.  At the same time, these meetings will answer many questions that a scouting family may have, such as:

• What am I going to bring?
• How do I pack?
• What do I wear?
• How will I camp?
• How much money do I need to bring?
• How will cell phones work?
• What will I eat?
• The type of physical condition must I be in for a High Adventure trip?
• What type of Physical do I need?
• Do I need a swimming test?
• How may I raise funds?

Attendance at these monthly meetings will help us all to discover who the natural leaders are amongst the scouts. This will be important when the scouts need to select their troop leadership. 

More importantly, Scouts and their parents will get to know our NH Contingent Leadership Team.  This team of experienced Scouting Leaders will be on-hand at each gathering so that you can feel comfortable with them before sending your scout on the journey of a lifetime.
