10 days of superior fun.

Jamboree Mail

For efficient postal service to the jamboree, letters and packages must be addressed in this manner:

(Fill in participant’s full name)
Jamboree Troop 815
Subcamp No. 8
2010 National Scout Jamboree
Bowling Green, VA 22428-0815

All incoming mail will be handled through the regular camp-wide Jamboree Postal Service. Packages to individuals will not be accepted on a collect (cash-on-delivery) basis; they must be sent prepaid to the jamboree. Due to base security, packages sent by other carriers (i.e. UPS, FedEx, etc) will not be delivered to the subcamp by those carriers and will need to be X-rayed off site. Once cleared, those packages will be turned over to the Jamboree Postal Service for delivery. Therefore, it is highly recommended to use the U.S. Postal Service for packages. Mail for each subcamp will be handled by a subcamp postmaster, and each jamboree troop leader will assign an adult leader within his troop to serve as troop postmaster.
