Participants are selected to represent the Chattahoochee Council based on qualifications in character, camping skills, physical/personal fitness, and leadership qualities. Therefore, all participants, and their parent(s) or guardian(s), are asked to read the Code of Conduct and Statement of Understanding as a condition of participation.

It is with the further understanding that serious misconduct or infraction of rules and regulations may result in expulsion (at the participant’s own expense) from the jamboree or during the jamboree tour. Each participant is responsible for his or her own behavior, and only when necessary, will the procedure be invoked to send a participant home from the jamboree.
