Dear Sweden Jamboree Crew,Since our meeting on Wednesday, September 17th, 2025 I have been in contact with one of our Canadian Contingent Leadership Team, Shelli Schwanbeck, about the $800 Sweden Jamboree Registration Fee and it's non-refundable nature.
The Canadian Contingent for the Sweden Jamboree has set the following payment dates:
Sept 26 – $200
Nov 21 – $300
Jan 16 – $300
Total due by Jan 16: $800 SJ26 Canadian Contingent Jamboree fee
Note: the instalments before Jan 16th are simply pacing guidelines for groups. We are allowed to pay the full $800 in a lump sum any time before Jan 16th with no late fees. After Jan 16th, the cost increases by $50 per participant.
With this in mind, the 1st Napanee Valley SJ26 Scouter Team have set a group fundraising milestone of $35,000 fund raised by January 10th before committing to the non-refundable registration fees. This will give us a clear picture of:
1. Whether we’re on track to meet the full $4,300/participant fundraising goal, and
2. What portion families may realistically need to budget for themselves should we move ahead.
If, by January 10th, it looks like this goal isn’t achievable, we would still have the option to pivot—either by choosing a different jamboree for the following summer or exploring a Canadian alternative. This way, we’re not locked into non-refundable fees before we’re confident in our fundraising progress.
We recognise that fundraising may not appeal to everyone, and families contribute in varied ways. It's important to highlight that our Scouters are all dedicated volunteers who invest considerable time outside of their own work, family, and life commitments to create opportunities like the Sweden Jamboree for our Scouting Youth. Fundraising is a collaborative effort that helps distribute the financial burden and manage costs for all families; however, participation remains a personal choice.
To facilitate this, we have implemented a credit system to track and reward fundraising efforts. These credits help reduce expenses for the youth, making this adventure more accessible.
Yours in Scouting,
Andrea Miller
