Some roles, which will be clearly marked in the IST Opportunities Catalogue, will require “Pre-Event” IST. The start date for these roles is Saturday 21 July.
There are also opportunities for adults to be involved in the building of the Jamboree site throughout July, as a very large number of volunteers will be needed for this task. Further details of how to be involved in the build can be found on the Build page or you can email build@scouting2007.org. People who are helping to build the site can only take a full and active part in the Jamboree by being a registered member of a Contingent.
