Contingent Leaders’ Meeting The Icelandic Boy and Girl Scout Associa tion will organize a National Jamboree from July 17th to 24th 2016 at the Moot´s main campsite at Úlfljótsvatn Outdoor and Scout Center. The 2016 Jamboree may be viewed as a trial run for the 15th World Scout Moot, in order to test various infrastructural and technical aspects. The National Jamboree participants are aged between 10-22. The Moot will convene a meeting of the Moot’s National Contingent leaders during and at the site of the National Jamboree, on July 22nd to 24th 2016. Further information will be provided in Bulletin #2.

Reykjavik, August 2014 To: All National Scout Organizations From: The Organizing Team of the 15th World Scout Moot Reg: Appointment of a JAMBASSADOR for the 15th World Scout Moot The Moot Organizing Team kindly asks you to appoint one JAMBASSADOR for the 15th World Scout Moot taking place in Iceland in 2017. We would be happy to receive information about the name and contact details of your appointed Jambassador before 30 November 2014 at the e-mail address info@worldscoutmoot.is. The way you select the Jambassador can be through advertisement, direct appointment or any other way as you see fit. What is a Jambassador? The Jambassador for the World Scout Moot in 2017 is a leader and the official representative of World Scout Moot 2017 in his/her national organization. The function of the Jambassador is to introduce and promote the World Scout Moot 2017 in his/her organization, in partnership with magazine and web editors, as well as to encourage individual Scouts to apply to attend the Moot. The Jambassador is the initial official link between the World Scout Moot 2017 Organizing Team in Iceland and the national scout organization. The Jambassador can then later become the appointed Head of Contingent for the Organization or work beside the Head of Contingent once appointed - as the National Organization chooses. The Jambassador does not necessarily have to attend the World Scout Moot in 2017, as a participant, member of the International Service Team or a member of the contingent leadership, but it would be preferable for motivational purposes. Who can become Jambassador to World Scout Moot 2017? The Jambassador should be appointed by the national organization. He/she should be a dedicated leader who has experience in international Scouting has preferably participated in an international camp abroad and is born not later than 1993. He or she should also have good connections to the participant and IST age groups of the Moot. The Jambassador should be able to communicate in English as that is the main daily working language of the World Scout Moot 2017 Organizing Team. The Jambassador must have access to the internet and have experience in communicating through it. He/she must be dedicated to this position, be willing to give it some time and be able to take the initatives to fulfill the roles as needed. What is in it for the Jambassador? The Jambassador will not receive any direct monetary payment for his voluntary work. But if attending the World Scout Moot 2017 the Jambassador will get a reduction of the camp-fee based on the number of participants coming from his/her organization. If participants are 25 (the Jambassador included) the camp-fee for the Jambassador will be none / zero. It the total number of participants are fewer the Jambassador´s camp fee will reduce proportionally - f.e. if the participants are 15 the camp-fee for the Jambassador will be 15/25 or 60 percent. The Jambassador will furthermore get a special Moot Jambassador fleece jacket as a recognition for the vital role he or she is playing. After the World Scout Moot the Jambassadors will receive a special certificate in his/her name signed by the Chief Scout of Iceland. We hope you approve of this approach to a partnership in making the Moot a success, and look forward to receiving informtion of your Jambassador. The World Scout Moot 2017 organizing team
