Talk:21st World Scout Jamboree

"open to all members of World Scout Movement"
This sounds a bit too unspecific to me. As far as I am informed allowed are still only members of the World Organsation of Scout Movement (WOSM). Members of the World Association of Girl Guides and Girl Scouts (WAGGGS) are allowed if they are member of a SAGNO (national scout associations which are members of both WOSM and WAGGGS). So this part should be a bit more specific. I tried to rephrase it. However, if a native english speaker/writter want to check it out, you are very welcome. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Toomai (talk • contribs).
 * not so. WAGGGS members were able to attend if the WOSM member in their country so allowed it.  I know that GSUSA was invited to send a troop, but choice not to do so.  ---emb021.

there's also an age range 212.56.120.244 11:01, 12 August 2007 (UTC)
 * how is that an issue? Those over 18 could attend as contingent leaders or members of IST.
 * members are above 18 and are members of IGSF too. ISGF works together with WOSM and WAGGGS. I am member of WOSM (above 18 year, President of Scouting Deaf Netherlands, Part of Scouting Netherlands) and member of ISGF (Part of Scouting Netherland) Edwtie 17:44, 20 August 2007 (UTC)
 * that doesn't quite make sense. ISGF is a separate group, and as such you must join ISGF separately from your membership in a WOSM/WAGGGS group.  Its not automatic.  The point of the comment was that if you were over 18 you could still participate, but as a contigent leader, contigent support or IST.  ISGF isn't everywhere.  It's pretty much non-existant in the USA.  99.99% of the scouters in the US have probably never heard of it.  Emb021 24 August 2007

No of participants
I have tagged this section as needing a source. Also, if the 1929 Jamboree is to be downgraded to 40,000 participants, then the table in World Scout Jamboree needs to be corrected from 50,000. That figure is supported by this source] which is reference 1 of the general jamboree article. On that basis, I am going to go back and change that paragraph to use this source. --Bduke 23:11, 21 April 2007 (UTC)


 * the ninth issue of "One Word", the Official Jamboree newspaper, gives the number of total participants as 38,074, and gives a breakdown by Association as to the number of IST and participants they sent. So one could then figure out the # of IST people total.  I had no idea were they put the Contingent support people or the adult contingent leaders (troop leaders for the contingents).  The newspaper is available on-line at the World Jambo website. --emb021


 * I wouldn't trust One Word in the total number, it eg. said there were only 650 Finnish scouts, the correct number was 1003 --Azerfin 09:21, 19 August 2007 (UTC)


 * Also italian contingent seem to be in one world newspaper smaller than reality 11:30, 19 August 2007 —The preceding unsigned comment was added by PandaSorn (talk • contribs).


 * The Numbers in "One Word" #9 are incorrect at large:
 * They do not include Contingent Support Team member, Scout exhibitors and Off-Site Programme staff.
 * They use an outdated datebase, dating back some weeks before the opening ceremony.
 * Some examples:
 * Finnland: "One Word": 817 participants; SP: >1,000 participants
 * Sweden: "One Word": 184 participants; SSR: 300 participants
 * France: "One Word": 873 participants; SF 1,000 participants
 * Switzerland: "One Word": 1,338 participants; PBS: 1,500 participants
 * ... and so on. --jergen 10:01, 19 August 2007 (UTC)


 * That is a big discrepency. Any chance we will get a final and accurate count?  --Emb021 21:06, August 22, 2007 (UTC)


 * Perhaps with the official documentation, that schould be available by end of september. --jergen 08:02, 28 August 2007 (UTC)


 * Australia's count was Also wrong.Scoutfromaus 08:43, 15 September 2007 (UTC)

Userbox
We have to do an userbox saying something like : this users was in the 21st WSJ. --Who plays violin 17:35, 9 August 2007 (UTC)


 * Why? --jergen 10:03, 19 August 2007 (UTC)

Official song
Should the song be here? Is it not a copyright violation? It seems the words are not even on the Jamboree song web site. How do we reference the words? Was the last edit, "today" to "to date", valid or vandalism? Also it seems odd to have the words here and not a Jambo (song). Perhaps Jambo (song) should be merged here. --Bduke 22:19, 18 August 2007 (UTC)
 * Unless these questions can be answered, I'd say remove it. I've been watching it bounce around.Rlevse 22:20, 18 August 2007 (UTC)
 * Removed. Please do not put it back until all these questions are resolved. --Bduke 23:07, 18 August 2007 (UTC)

Merge IST here
✅
 * support Chris 23:05, 29 October 2007 (UTC)
 * What is this about? IST?? -- Bduke   (Discussion)  21:24, 22 October 2008 (UTC)
 * IST would be the International Service Team that was merged 29 October 2007. --—— Gadget850 (Ed)  talk  -  22:44, 22 October 2008 (UTC)
