Features designed to facilitate the Jamboree experience
List of activities to identify how you want to Live Scouting’s Adventure
• ~217 different things to do, from exhibits and displays, to merit badges, to adventure programs, with descriptions and locations• Sort and search• Mark as “Favorite” for
easy access – build your “Jamboree to-do agenda”
Maps help you visualize the path to Live Scouting’s Adventure• Walking directions
(powered by Google), wait times, where’s my group, and different places of interest like first aid, showerhouses, basecamp/subcampheadquarters, etc.• Walking directions:
Google does not always have the best answer, so use common sense
• Build a custom map by combining selected map layers together
