Our Jamb'ree Seneschal (aka Staff) cannot wait to welcometh thee all to what

promises to beest an unf'rgettable and extremely excit'ment weekend! Thine sinc'rely,

Cristina Florez 2019 Webelos Jamb’ree Chief


Why Thou and Thine House Should Cometh To The Webelos Jamb’ree

The primary reason to come out to the Jamb’ree is to have FUN!

If thou are a new Webelos den just getting started or not, the Webelos Jamb’ree

provides an excellent opportunity for an exciting campout. Come out and learn how to set up a camp, take care of advancements, and have fun the “Webelos Way”. We’ve designed the Jamb’ree to be a learning experience for ALL scouts.

Thou shouldst come out because the Webelos Jamb’ree provides thine Webelos with an introduction and an overview of several Webelos adventures that the Webelos shalt be working on. This is a great way to get thine scouts excited about all the great times that they are going to have. This year’s theme, RENAISSANCE GAMES begins to introduce Webelos Scouts, their noble knights, and noble parents, to what awaits them in the Webelos Program and their journey to Scouts BSA. We want Webelos Scouts to be excited about the new activities they get to participate in. We want House knights and parents to understand the process of “crossing over” to Scouts BSA, and how they can participate in their new troop and demonstrate to them the benefits of having their scouts continue in the scouting.

We shalt have all sorts of fun competitions for the scouts. Webelos shalt work on

Webelos activities and have an opportunity to participate in activities geared to giving them a taste of the Scouts BSA program. Of course, we shalt have everybody’s favorite, the Chariot Race, and a few other traditional events. Right up until that weekend, seneschal (aka staff) shalt continue to work on many exciting and fun-filled activities to optimize the experience for the enjoyment of all. Don’t miss out on all the fun.

Register thine “House” (aka Den) NOW for a great Webelos Jamb’ree!

What To Expect Bef’re the Jamb’ree and Upon Arrival

EXPECT TO HAVE EXCIT’MENT!!!!

Expect to contact the Webelos Jamb’ree team before the event with any special needs and/or concerns (i.e. accessibility for handicapped participants; issues with trailer, etc.) Expect to read this handbook completely. Expect that The Kingdom of Elmore shalt open on Friday, November 1st at 5 PM for check-in. Thine chosen House knight must check in and shalt receive the campsite assignment at that time. Please inform thine Webelos’ parents that they cannot individually check-in and they CANNOT just drop their child off and leave. All Webelos must be supervised at all times. Expect that ALL HOUSES MUST check in at the Registration Site in order to:

1. Finalize registration counts and payments (thou must have proof of payment); 2. Pick up any handout items; and 3. Register thine Houses, receive their rotation assignments, armbands, and patches.

Expect limited vehicular access to the campsites (with passes only). Each campsite shalt have only 3 passes allotted to them to allow for equipment drop-off.

When finished, the returning vehicle must return pass back to registration area and registration (and only registration) shalt be allowed to give out pass to another vehicle in the House. Additionally, we shalt have gear transportation available to transport personal gear to thine campsites. Expect that no vehicles shalt be allowed to park at the campsite, all vehicles must be parked in the main parking lot. The interior parking lot is designated for seneschal and handicapped parking.

Advanc’d Registration

Advanced registration is RECOMMENDED. In addition to saving thine House a few gold coins, advanced registration is essential for the seneschal to properly plan an event the size of the Webelos Jamb’ree.

Advanced registration is as simple as counting the number of individuals that shalt be

attending and then submitting the appropriate fees. In addition, Houses registering in advance shalt be given priority in patch distribution.

We shalt only be accepting ONLINE registrations this year. Please go to: www.sfcbsa.org/events/webelos-Jamb’ree-3.

The advanced registration fee is $15 per person camping (Webelos & Scouters). Anyone

registering after Monday, October 26th shalt be charged $20.00 per person REGARDLESS of any prior advanced registration submitted by thine House. Any walk-up campers shalt be charged $30 per person. Day visitors shalt be charged $10 per person in advance or $15 person after Monday, October 26th. Walk-Up day use participants shalt be charged $20 per person. Unfortunately, late and walk-up registrants are not guaranteed a patch.

Once available, please make sure to email the House Registration form to

[email protected] as soon as possible – please see appendix for sample. Also, please remember that all House representatives must stop by the registration site at the

Jamb’ree after thine House arrives. At that time, thou shalt turn in thine final House Registration Form and then thou shalt receive thine House’s rotation for the Saturday events. Please remember that Advanc’d registration must be filled out online only.

Any questions or special arrangement needs should be directed to the Jamb’ree Chief: Lady

Cristina Florez at [email protected]. If thou need to make any special arrangements please contact Lady Ayesha Carter at (305)

http://www.sfcbsa.org/events/webelos-jamboree-3





Saturday Registration Houses attending for the day on Saturday, or those who are not camping Friday night, shalt need to follow the same process as above. If a House is participating but not camping (day-use) they must provide their name and proof of payment for the event to be able to enter. Please ensure that thine House arrives together to ensure a quicker registration process.

Check-In Procedures Consult the map found on the last page in this booklet to locate campsite. Gear and Equipment House trailers are permitted to park outside of the campsite outside of each campsite gate. Please be mindful as thou shalt be sharing thine campsite with other Houses that shalt need to park their trailers as well. Due to campsite logistics it is strongly recommended that thou load thine trailer with as much personal gear as possible to assist in fewer trips to thine campsite. Jamb’ree Seneschal shalt have multiple flatbed trailers to assist in transporting thine personal gear to thine campsites. There shalt be a personal gear drop off area east of the main parking lot. Each campsite number shalt be notated as well as the pre-registered Houses that are assigned to that campsite. Please HAVE AN ADULT leave thine gear in the area thou are assigned. Thine personal gear shalt be transported to thine campsite for thou. Webelos and their families may then walk to thine assigned campsite. Please ensure that thou park in designated parking areas only. There shalt be Seneschal on hand to direct thou to the appropriate location. No vehicles shalt be allowed to park in the campsite area. No gear shalt be transported to thine assigned campsite until the designated Knight from thine House checks in with registration with thine accurate House roster. This does not necessarily have to be the Cubmaster or Committee Chair, but they must have already been identified and confirmed to the Jamb’ree Seneschal before arrival. Kindly be sure to bring thine:

• Proof of payment Thou shalt receive:

• Rotation Schedule/Activity Map/Event Schedule • Activity Field Participation Award Scorecards • Registered Participant Armbands


Adult Noble Cracker-barrel The Adult Noble Cracker barrel is a gathering of the adult nobles in attendance at the Webelos Jamb’ree and is primarily intended to allow the Jamb’ree seneschal to provide essential information about the upcoming Jamb’ree program. Cracker barrel is designed to be 95% information and fellowship and only 5% food. There shalt be a Cracker barrel held on both Friday and Saturday night at 10:00 PM at the Main Registration Area. Every House must be represented.

At the Friday and Saturday night Cracker barrel, we ask that all Houses

• Send at least one but no more than two adult representatives • Bring one item to share with the other Houses (i.e. a box of cookies, dozen donuts, etc.) • Do Not Bring thine Webelos • Please arrive by 10:00 PM. We have a lot of important information to give, and we need to

start on time. Friday night’s Cracker barrel shalt concentrate on the schedule for Saturday, the event rotation, plan for the Parade to the Campfire on Saturday night, and the Campfire itself.

Saturday night’s Cracker barrel shalt focus on Sunday’s schedule for Scouts’ Own, the Awards Presentation, and check out procedures. Adult recognitions shalt be presented at this time.

Please allow the Jamb’ree Seneschal to deal with individual House issues at times OUTSIDE of Cracker barrel. We shalt be available throughout the evening including before and after Cracker barrel.

Rotation Schedule In order to properly schedule a large number of Webelos through as many events as possible,

each Webelos House shalt be assigned to a unique rotation schedule. It is important that each House follow the schedule rather than just wandering around the Jamb’ree. If for any reason we need to locate thine House for questions or an emergency, we shalt have an idea of where thou are. Please DO NOT just show up at events on Saturday. To do so guarantees chaos. Rotation Instructions

• Rotation Schedule assigned by House at check in Friday Night • All participants shalt be assigned unique wrist band to be worn ALL weekend. • Please stick to thine rotation schedule and don’t just show up at something thou think thou

would like to see or do. • Attendance at the Castles shalt not be enough to complete any of the Webelos Adventures.

Castles are a way of exposing the Webelos to a variety of different activities. • Thou must not skip any of the Castle events. Scouting is about service to others. If thou

have already done a similar activity, please help those other Webelos that may not be as familiar as thou.

• Activities shalt run from 8:30am until Noon, and from 2pm until 5:30 pm. There is a total of 6 rotations. Houses should be able to complete 3 in the morning and 3 in the afternoon. Each session shalt last 65 minutes with 5 minutes to arrive at the next station.

Please remember this is not an advancement-based event. We want to give the Webelos an exposure to Scout type knowledge and activities while having fun! Those running activities shalt not be signing off on any books. Advancements shalt be learned. However, the responsibility for ensuring the Webelos Scout has mastered the knowledge shalt fall on the Houses themselves.

Campsite Evaluation

We encourage all Houses attending the Jamb’ree to participate in this event and show everyone that thine House can set up a model campsite.

The Jamb’ree seneschal shalt provide reviewers to evaluate each of the campsites as they are set

up by the opening ceremony on Saturday morning. The reviewers shalt be evaluating the campsites based on the criteria included in the appendix of this handbook.

The Jamb’ree Committee recommends that Packs use “low impact” camping methods. Fire

should be used with one placed at the camp kitchen /cooking area and second in an easily accessible area of the campsite. Two fire buckets per tent may be substituted.

Please encourage thine Webelos to utilize the patrol method during this event so that they can

begin to understand the methods of Scouts BSA.

Ye Ol’ Chariot Race Ye Ol’ Chariot Race shalt be held as part of the event rotation in the morning and afternoon. Ye Ol’ Chariot Race event is a staple of the Webelos Jamb’ree. The race is completely described in the Appendix. There may be a need for run off races after everyone has had an opportunity to compete. Please be sure to check at Saturday’s registration area around 5:30 PM to see if thou need to participate in a runoff. The three fastest Houses overall shalt receive awards.


Saturday Night Campfire

All Webelos and their knights shalt march to the Campfire area on Saturday evening. The

Campfire shalt be located at the Amphitheater next to the aquatics pavilion. At approximately 7:15 PM, each House should line up in their Class “A” uniform in front of their district gateway. THOU MUST BRING THINE HOUSE BANNERS/FLAGS/PENNANTS (remember, this is not thine Pack flag). The Jamb’ree Team shalt coordinate the exact time and path that Houses shalt take from their campsites to the Campfire. It is important for all Houses to stay and sit together to prevent Webelos from becoming separated in the dark. Webelos and adults should bring a flashlight/ headlight with them to the campfire. Further instructions shalt be given at Friday night’s Cracker-barrel. Fun performances are time-honored tradition and favorite of Webelos. Due to time constraints, we must limit the number of campfire performances. All songs should be themed “Renaissance”, can cover activities that were experienced during the day, and should include thine scout-made instruments. Songs for the campfire shall be chosen by the Seneschal, so be ready! Please refer to the Campfire Do’s and Don’ts in the Appendix.

Scouts’ Own & Closing Ceremony

A Scout is Reverent There shalt be a non-denominational worship service on Sunday morning at 8:30 AM. The

service shalt take place at the Amphitheater and shalt be conducted by Scouts from the OA (Order of the Arrow). All Webelos and their knights are EXPECTED to attend. Dress shalt be Class “A” uniform.

Attendance is mandatory and is so noted on thine Webelos Activity Field Participation Award

scorecard, which must be signed and turned in attesting to thine House’s attendance. Immediately following the Scouts’ Own, we shalt proceed with the Closing Ceremony and the presentation of awards.

There shalt be no checkouts or departures allowed prior to the conclusion of the closing ceremony.


Check Out Procedures

In order to ensure an orderly check out process, please observe the following guidelines:

• The same rules that were followed on Friday night for vehicles in the campsite shalt be in effect. Only two vehicles at a time in the campsites. Thine cooperation shalt ensure that no one gets hurt during this hectic period.

• Check out forms shalt be distributed at the Saturday night Cracker-barrel.

• Do not begin to take thine campsite down until AFTER the Closing Ceremony is complete. No one shalt be allowed to check out until after the Closing Ceremony.

• After thine campsite is dismantled and all gear and trash has been removed, request a campsite inspection at the registration/headquarters area. Once thine campsite is approved, bring the form registration/headquarters to receive thine check out packet.

• All trash must be placed in the dumpster. Please flatten all boxes, water jugs, or any other bulky materials. In other words, “Smash that Trash”. PLEASE, no broken tents, materials, or props in the dumpsters…we don’t have the room.

• In the event that the dumpsters are full, please be prepared to haul thine garbage out of the campgrounds. No garbage shalt be left behind.

• NO GARBAGE MAY BE PLACED ON THE OUTSIDE OF THE DUMPSTERS AND THE LIDS AND SIDE DOORS MUST BE PROPERLY CLOSED.

Remember, “SMASH that trash”

Information/Lost & Found Lost and found shalt be located at the Main Pavilion at Headquarters.

Thine Frequent Inquiries (FAQs) What is the Renaissance Theme? The Renaissance took place from the 14th to the 17th century. Lots of cool things happened during that time, including Knights in shining armor, archery, Lords and Ladies in charge of Castles, Jesters, etc. It was a cultural and social movement that changed the world as it was known back then. Did thou know that many famous people were alive during that time, including Galileo, Leonardo Da Vinci, Christopher Columbus, and Joan of Arc, just to name a few? Adults shall get into it by channeling their inner “Game of Thrones” feelings! How does the theme influence our Webelos Jamb’ree? All advancements and activities that thou shalt experience this weekend shall be handled in a way that conforms with the theme. For example, thou shalt be learning archery basics, how to throw a javelin, and cook typical foods from that era. Did thou know that volleyball back then was called “Pallone?” What do we wear? Class A’s shall be expected during only 2 events: Opening Ceremonies, because we have to show our respect for the flag after all! And during Closing Ceremonies, since we’ll be taking down the flag and we need to show reverence during Scouts’ Own. Otherwise, DRESS UP! Take home-made items and make them into costumes that keep with the theme… Did thou know that this year’s Chief Award shall go to the Pack that shows the greatest amount of spirit? (See page 30 for details.) Shall there be sports? Are most castles made out of stone! AYE! We shall have Gaga Pit, Pallone, Javelin Throw, Chariot Race, Archery, and Jousting! Why don’t we use our Pack Numbers? Although at the end of your cub scouting experience thou shalt be moving on to Scout BSA Troops, the patrol method within the troops shall have thou sorted into Patrols that thou shalt get to name and for which thou shalt create your own symbols, flags, even patches. Creating a “House Name” and banner/pennant that thou shalt carry around with thou this weekend, is a fun way to experience that aspect of scouting! Did thou know that we are having a patch competition for the Jamb’ree? Due September 20th! How do the Tournament House Awards work? The Houses to accumulate the most points in all of the different competitions shall win the Overall House Awards ~ 1st, 2nd, and 3rd places. Behold! Thou shalt still be winning awards within each of the competitions, so everyone gets a shot at greatness! Why don’t we have skits? Ah but thou may! Just add music to thine skits and sing thine lines! The most original performances shall win the maximum points toward their House totals and shall be welcomed onstage for Campfire! And make sure to add the instruments thou learnt to make during the Maestro activity for maximum points! This shall be a musical campfire dear, ladies and lords!
