Join SWAPA Jamboree Staff

Dear Brothers,

I want to connect with you all and invite you to be part of a brand-new event in Northeast Georgia Council. This year, instead of a fall camporee, Apalachee and Sweetwater District will come together and launch a jamboree-style event at Camp Rainey Mountain. Picture a mini-summer camp weekend with all the program stations open, several fun events, and time to unwind with your friends while having a great time.

As you know, Coming out of COVID, our troops are struggling. They need excitement, spirit, and fellowship to help each of them grow their Scouting programs. We can help!! With your support we can infuse this event with spirit and excitement and make SWAPA an event to remember - it will be SPECTACULAR!! SWAPA will allow troops from both Sweetwater and Apalachee Districts (as well as troops from other districts and councils) to come together and experience the FUN of the Scouting program, without the pressure that hosting or competing may create. The more troops come, the more amazing SWAPA will be.

There are two ways to help. One - promote the event to your troop and get them excited to attend. Two - become part of the best ever, NEGA famous, youth staff.

WHEN: 9/30-10/2
WHERE: Camp Rainey Mountain

The goal is to have a full youth staff composed of Scouts aged 13 and at least First Class or are members of a Venturing Crew. In addition to supporting specific program areas of interest, we are also looking for a youth leadership team that will include an SPL, ASPLs, Masters of Ceremonies for the campfire and battle of the air bands, program area leads, and communication leads for social media. In addition, there is an opportunity to volunteer in the OA Service Corps.

Staffers receive meals, a staffer t-shirt, and of course...a patch!
Although you are volunteering, each youth staffer will still have opportunities to participate in the program. The goal is for everyone to have fun.

Program Highlights:

• Dragon (Cardboard) Boat Regatta
  
• High Adventure Challenge
  
• Cowboy Action Shoot*
  
• Rifle/Shotgun/Archery/Tomahawks
  
• COPE/Climbing
  
• Dutch Oven Cookoff
  
• Scout Games
  
• Ultimate Frisbee Competition
  
• Battle of the Air Bands
  
• Campfire
  
• OA Museum and Ice Cream Social
  
• and more
  

Please complete the staff application link. Applicants will be reviewed in the order that they are received. We are looking forward to putting on an amazing event together.
