Visitors at AJ2010
The NSW based organisers of AJ2010 (JOC) have decided to restrict visitor access to the Jamboree site. All visitors must preregister with JOC. This is in order to ensure the 22nd Australian Jamboree is a safe and secure event for everyone involved. Visitor access will be tightly controlled and restricted to one day.
Visitors Day
Visitors Day will be held on Saturday 9 January 2010 and will coincide with Future Scout Day. On this day all participants will be on site and everyone who plans to visit is urged to do so on this day. Please follow the application process below.
Visiting on other days
Not everyone who wants to visit AJ2010 will be able to make it on Visitors Day. To accommodate this, arrangements have been made to allow a maximum of 100 people on non-visitors days. To be able to attend on non-visitors days you will have to submit a small outline (via the comments section of the application form) of the special circumstances preventing you from attending on Visitors Days. Everyone is encouraged to make a special effort to attend on Visitors Day.
Visitors should note that there are 4 offsite activities scheduled and every attendee will attend at least 3. It is important if you are applying to attend on a day other than Visitors Day (Saturday 9 January 2010) you make sure the person(s) you are visiting will be on site.
Application form
The official application form and process is available from https://www.scoutsaj2010.com/registration/Login.asp
Apply as soon as possible to visit the biggest event on the Scouting calendar.

Flying at the Jamboree

Check out this optional (at additional cost) off-site activity.

The NSW Scout Air Activity Centre at Camden Airport will be conducting a series of adventure flights, both Power and Gliding during the AJ2010 Jamboree.

The Power Flight

This is a fabulous opportunity to experience the sensation of flight aboard a modern Cessna Skyhawk 172 aircraft. The adventure will begin at Camden Airport with a forty minute scenic tour to the South West of Sydney and will include a fly-over of the AJ2010 campsite at Cataract. During the flight, participants will be able to communicate with the pilot, listen to the Air Traffic Control, observe cockpit procedures or just sit back and enjoy the unfolding panoramic vista.

or another great option

Adventurous Gliding

Go further, higher, longer and faster with the ultimate AJ2010 challenge. This modern and environmentally friendly activity provides a ‘hands on the controls’ opportunity to actually FLY a GLIDER.  Just you and your instructor in a self launching Super Dimona ‘state of the art’ motor glider. The thirty minute flight will take you way above the airport and surrounding rural countryside on a magical journey of a lifetime.
Don’t miss out on this rare opportunity in a Scout’s Jamboreelife.
