Take the Bus!

• We have just received word from The Scout
  Association that for those of you who will arrive
  on July 21 thru 23, they will pick up at Stansted
  Airport only. Pre-event IST members who arrive
  on July 21 will be required to check in at Gate 5
  entrance to Hylands Park .
• This is a change from their original plan
  announced last winter.
• It is recommended that IST members take the
  National Express Bus from Gatwick or Heathrow to
  this airport. It is the most economical and
  easiest option. You may pre-book tickets on
  www.nationalexpress.co.uk.

INTERNATIONAL SERVICE TEAM
Anyone wondering what the IST logo represents
might be interested in the following The diamond
comes from the diamond of the Jamboree Logo. The
rainbow picks up from the background designs for
the Jamboree - representing the full range of
people in the world. The dove represents peace
and is used on all the World Centenary logos.
The "EIST" is a mixture of the French and
English translations International Service Team
(IST) in English, and L'Equipe Internationale de
Service (EIS) in French.

INTERNATIONAL SERVICE TEAM

• Scouters who have submitted applications and have
  gone through the interview process will receive a
  copy of the International Service Teams
  Opportunity Catalog via e-mail. We encourage you
  to select the areas of expertise in which you
  feel you may best serve the youth of the 21st

  you are interested in, but please make sure that
  you meet the position expectations and time
  requirements.

  Association of the United Kingdom for final
  review and selection. The host country makes the
  final selection. If you are selected to serve,

  advised that they will not begin to make their
  selections until later in the fall. If you have

You have been selected

• We would like to thank our IST members for their
  patience with the job allocation. With an event
  the size and scale of the 21st World Scout
  Jamboree, and with over 8,000 individuals in the
  International Service Team, plans change and we
  hope that all members of the IST will have a
  flexible approach toward the role they are
  allocated.
•  
• You were selected to serve as Information
  Communications Technology staff.
•  
• Every IST member will be told their team when
  they check in. Every effort has been made to give
  IST members one of their five role choices.
  However, due to the high popularity of certain
  areas there are a small number of people for whom
  this has not been possible.
•  
• Individual members of the IST should NOT contact
  The Scout Association regarding the job they have
  been allocated.  The priority as service team
  staff member will be to ensure a truly amazing
  experience for every young person attending the
  jamboree. While all members of the IST will be
  looked after and managed, the young people are
  our priority. We will be encouraging every IST
  member to do their best and approach their role
  with a positive attitude even if it was not their
  first choice. It is not the role we do but the
  international team we do it with that counts! 
  There is more information about each of the teams
  that the IST members will be part of on the
  jamboree Web-site at www.thejamboree.org/ist.

2007 356 am

• Greetings! Have arrived safely in England.
  Jamboree is still in build stage. 30,000 are
  expected tomorrow! We will be checking them in on
  these machines -
• weather has been cloudy and showery. England is
  very green and very wet. Cot was a good idea.
•  
• Food is good. Learning about british brews.
  meeting many new people. everyone seems very
  engaged, with the possible exception of a group
  od US scoutmasters who are keeping to
  themselves....too many people to find out about.
•  
• We occupy 500 acres - with mud, it's a little
  Woodstock-like, but this mud is NOTHING like
  1969. Doesn't close to us quality. Even id it
  deepens, I don't think it will have the same
  shoe-sucking quality as good old Sullivan Cty
  mud.
•  
• There's a wait for the machine so I should
  probably relinquish my place.

Re Fwd Re 2007 Jaboree - Onsite Notes from
Bill Langham

• Friday, August 3, 2007 1116 am
•  
• Today was hot and breezy - perfect laundry
  weather. I did two batches. I used my day-off
  with laundry, figuring out how to get some photos
  to you guys and touring the site. it realy s
  quite wonderful. The global Development Village
  has booths on refugees, AIDS, environment, peace,
  land mines, all kinds of stuff. There are
  activities and games - I saw participants tossing
  fake turds into toilets to raise water and
  sanitation awareness. I myslef threw books at
  handgrenade targets and bottles of toxic
  substances. i failed to win a t-shirt, but I got
  the message.
•  
• This AM, i visited thefaiths and beliefs site. i
  especuially wanted to see what the Church of
  Christ/Latter Day Saints had on display,
  especially with M.Romney running for President
  and the LDS's significant membership in and as
  sponsoring organizations of scouting. I was given
  a booklet on how-to be well-groomed and a
  goody-two shoes, but i also got a neat patch and
  shiny gold coin.
•  
• I then meditated in a Buddah tent with several
  Italians and made a momnani, a buddist knotted
  totem that represents good luck. It's pretty
  cool!
•  
• Tonight is the USA Contingent Reception. They are
  giving out a really smart coin. i saw one this
  afternoon.
•  
• have a good flight to Tampa. I'm sure I'll have
  more to report before sunday.
