Ciad Mille Failte Ciad Mille Failte is gaelaic meaning “a hundred thousand welcomes”. That is what will happen at CJ17 when we welcome thousands of Scouts, Scouters and Venturer and Adult OOS’s to Camp Nedooae and to Nova Scotia in the summer of 2017. We are so glad you have made the decision to participate at CJ17.

Now comes the challenge and fun of patrol planning and preparation for CJ17. Scouts and Scouters have the opportunity to participate in adventures during the week as part of the Jamboree experience. We promise your daytime will be filled with excitement and challenge with adventures to suit every need. As you go through the Jamboree Program you will discover a wide variety of activities to choose from. Stretch yourselves and choose something different, or wacky...Adventures you will talk about for years to come!

The daytime adventures are what the patrol will choose to do. There are ten (10) daytime periods available, one in the morning one in the afternoon, each approximately of three hours’ duration, from Sunday afternoon to Friday afternoon. There are no On-Site adventures scheduled for Thursday afternoon, as Jamboree participants will celebrate Canada 150th year of Confederation.

Just like the trails of the Canadian Path, your CJ17 Adventures are named after Maritime trails, places, people, and events. Your daytime adventures are set up with five areas:

LAND (ON-SITE): These adventures are located on the Camp Nedooae property and adjacent fields, and consist of the Skyline Trail, the Fundy Footpath, and the Confederation Trail adventure areas. The On-Site adventures are typically a single period, or three (3) hours duration, and participants can easily walk to the locations from the sub camps.

WATER (ON-SITE): The water adventures in and around Brown Lake are under the Shubenacadie Canal Trail, named after an historic water route leading from Halifax to Bay of Fundy. These adventures are designed to get participants on and in the water, and a guarantee to get wet. These adventures are typically a single period, or three (3) hours duration, and participants can easily walk to the locations from the sub camps.

STEM (ON-SITE): STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Math) Adventure where Science and Scouting come together. At the CJ17 Discovery Center, there are options to get a little – or a lot – of Science, so you choose. This Adventure area will bring the true meaning of “in the field of Science”! These adventures are from one (1) to three (3) hours duration.

DROP-IN (ON-SITE): The Musquodoboit Trail passes nearby CJ17 site and the Drop-In Adventure Centre is named after this historical link. This trail is designed to fill your day with exciting, high energy, fast paced activities, all located at Camp Nedooae, just a quick walk from the Subcamps. Here you will find CJ17’s climbing walls, high ropes, water slides, field games, crafts and adventure challenges; enough entertainment for an entire or half day. Your patrol does not schedule these Adventures, as the name implies, you simply Drop-In.

OFF-SITE: Chose to take your patrol beyond the Jamboree site, travelling to historic Halifax, or to an Atlantic Ocean beach, coastal hike, or to one or more exciting Maritime adventures. The Off-site are all 2 periods, that is, you and your patrol will be away for the entire day. You can choose either two, single period Adventures, or a single double period adventure. You can also choose to go off-site more than once. There are no additional costs to travel to Halifax, beach or coastal hikes for self directed adventures. There are additional charges to participants in some off site programing adventures. Please refer to the CJ’17 Scheduled Adventure (page 14).

What to choose for your Adventure? Your patrol participating in the Jamboree should sit down as soon as possible and decide what types of adventures you wish to participate in. Participation in the planning by all Patrol members is important to the enjoyment of everyone at the Jamboree. Remember that the Jamboree week can be busy, so be careful not to over do it with choosing one high-energy activity after another. You may want to mix up your adventure choices from all of the Jamboree trails. The choice is yours to make.

Plan to read the Adventure description for each activity and write down the name of the adventure activity that may interest your patrol. Design your week starting with your first program Sunday afternoon, and end on Friday afternoon.

Patrols are encouraged to preselect a minimum of six or seven scheduled adventures (18-21 hours of your 30 hours of Adventures) prior to the Jamboree. Once you arrive on site, you may hear about or see a scheduled program activity that you want to try out. Additional scheduled program or changes to your scheduled adventures can be made at the Jamboree with Scouter Paul and his team at Jamboree Services - Programing.

CJ17 Drop-In Adventures provides hours of unique fun and high energy adventures. Take a day or two off of scheduled time and spend it at the Lucasville Water Park, Swimming, Wall climbing, High ropes, low ropes, boulder wall or any number of fun outdoor challenges.

Off-site Adventures start Monday morning. Off-site adventures will have a duration of one day, departing the site as early as 8:00 a.m., and returning back to Camp Nedooae as late as 5:30 p.m.

How to book your program? Important! Program booking must be completed by January 31, 2017. If you are eligible for priority placement (for those patrols that completed early registration), please submit your selection by December 15, 2016.

Once you have decided what your patrol wishes to participate in, fill out the CJ17 Adventure Selection form found attached or at website http://www.scouts.ca/cj17. Your patrol can select your program, a minimum of 15 hours of Adventures, as well as your preferred schedule for these adventures.

With the many active days at the Jamboree it is important not to get over-tired. Your Patrol should consider leaving “free time” in your schedule to catch up camp life, and use some self-directed time to the Drop-In Adventures and St Andrews Plaza.

Once completed, send the completed form to email address CJ17Program@scouts.ca as described on form. We suggest this be done at the earliest so you can be guaranteed selection and priority. You will receive acknowledgement of receipt of your Adventure selection.

Adventures with Additional Fees Some CJ17 Adventures are contracted to third party providers, and an additional fee is charged for participation. Based on your adventure selection, your Jamboree registration fee will be recalculated to include any user pay amounts.

Notice of program Patrols who registered early (prior to June 30, 2016) will receive priority placement but only if the Adventure selection is returned by December 15, 2016. Your notice of Adventure choices will be sent to the Patrol leader and Scouter. Expect this as early as February, 2017.

Trail Cards

Trail cards are being developed for each Adventure, to help you prepare for your Adventures. These Trail Cards can be referred to early in your Jamboree planning sessions, as well as during the Jamboree to prepare for the upcoming adventure. Trails cards are an important element of the Canadian Path, to help your Patrol with Plan-Do-Review.

Be prepared for Adventures

1. CJ17 is designed for youth 11 to 14 years old. It is expected that Scouts prepare and have the appropriate knowledge and skills to contribute successfully to an eight day, or longer, camping adventure, and are adequately prepared and physically capable of participating in the Adventures.

2. CJ17 is the first Jamboree under Canadian Path, which involves elements for Adventure, Plan-Do-Review, Youth-Led and SPICES. CJ17 adventures are intended to be Youth-Led. At the On-Site adventures, Scouters will allow the Patrol to lead themselves thru the Adventures. The OOS’s will assume the Scouter role. Scouters are invited to participate at On-site Adventures as well and are encouraged to either help OOS’s or form their own patrol of adult Scouters at these adventures.

3. At least one Unit Scouter is required to attend each program activity with the Patrol. Scouters should be prepared to allow Scouts to work as a patrol. If Scouters are participating in the Adventure, they will be encouraged to allow the patrol to participate on their own. There will be situations, understandably, where Scouter supervision needs to be maintained.

- 5 -

- 6 -

Be prepared for Adventures (continued)

4. Scouters are to fully supervise youth at self directed Off-site Adventures, i.e. self-directed Halifax, coastal hikes, beaches, etc. Scouters to take direction from extreme adventure providers as to level of supervision.

5. Summer days can mean longer exposure to the sun. lf not properly protected, sunburn can take the enjoyment out of many activities. We recommend that you wear a tee shirt, use waterproof sunblock of SPF 30 or higher, and that you carry a water bottle with you to all program activities. You should also wear a wide brimmed hat.

6. Insects can be a nuisance, especially in the evenings. You should carry a good, non-aerosol, insect repellant, with you. Be careful when choosing insect repellant as some of the more effective ones, with high DEET content, are solvents which may damage many plastics, such as plastics found in eye glasses and cameras, and nylons found in tents and windbreakers.

7. Mornings and evenings can be quite cool as the Atlantic Ocean can affect the climate, even if the camp is 30 kilometres inland. It is recommended that you bring a fleece or wind breaker. A rain jacket is suggested.

8. Should your patrol choose a day trip, plan to be away from

7:30 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. (there are no half-day trips). Half day Off-site Adventures need to be combined with another off-site Adventure in the same vicinity. Be prepared for the length of time you will be away from your camp, making sure your campsite is secured. Off site programs will require you to take a lunch, but your patrol may choose to purchase lunch if in Halifax. Of course, you should always carry your water bottle, some extra clothes and clothes appropriate to the weather with you when you are going off site. Check the Special Requirements section of the Program Activity Descriptions for further details Prepare to bring snacks and lunches.

9. If your activity involves biking, good physical condition and experience are a must for these choices. You may wish to bring your own CSA approved helmet for your own comfort and safety. We will have a supply of helmets on site also. lt is the responsibility of the participants to ensure that they wear a helmet while participating in these programs.

10. CJ17 provides the opportunity to take part in a wide variety of hiking activities. Half day and full day hikes are available. They are offered in various levels of difficulty, and are of varying length, over a wide range of terrain. Be sure to check the special requirements section of the Trail Cards specific to the Adventure. You should have sturdy footwear appropriate for hiking which have been broken in.

11. Many of the programs will be on or in the water. All water activities will operate on the buddy system. Scouters will be expected to buddy up and provide assistance when required to ensure that Scouts abide by safety regulation. Safety requires that Personal Floatation Devices (PFD’s) be worn during ALL water activities, except swimming, by ALL participants, REGARDLESS OF SWIMMING ABILITY. All members of your unit should be encouraged to complete the Canadian Red Cross SwimKids level 9, or equivalent, before the Jamboree.
