Cost
The current estimated Jamboree cost is $1,875 for youth and $1,285 for an adult. The Council Jamboree committee does their best to deliver value when planning for the Jamboree, however, there are costs that are beyond the control of the Chester County Council. For example, transportation contracts cannot be signed until much closer to the actual Jamboree departure date and prices may change.
