Who can attend AJ2028?

Ensuring that every young person is set up for a successful and enjoyable experience at the Jamboree is of utmost importance to us. The eligibility criteria listed below are designed to make certain that each child is adequately prepared and equipped for the full 10-day camp experience. We understand that each Scout is unique, and there may be individual considerations or concerns. If you have any questions or need clarification regarding your child’s specific eligibility, please reach out and discuss directly with the NSW Contingent Team. We’re here to assist and ensure the best possible experience for all involved.
