Can Troops from far away arrive and stay one extra night before and / or after the jamboree? Is there an additional cost if we can stay the extra nights?
We are still working out the issue around early arrivals and late departures. A limited number of units from far away will be allowed on site if prior arrangements are made with the sub-camp involved. The main issue with early arrivals is PJ is not delivering food until Saturday supper time so units would have to self provision. If the unit is coming in on a bus or something of that nature they can stop in Gibsons and pick up a few provisions. The pizza parlours love PJ because they deliver to the gate endlessly. Departure is a bit different as units are usually gone by 2:00pm on Saturday. Staying isn’t usually much of a problem. For now, we will discuss these requests with each unit individually. Food should not be an issue if the unit leaders mind that they keep enough to more than sustain life.
