Join in Jamboree (Japan in a Box) The Japan in a Box Join in Jamboree resource was one of the flagship deliveries of the jamboree project. Rather than distributing a paper based resource with Scouting Magazine a box of equipment and activities were distributed to each Jamboree Unit. Local groups could then sign up to express an interest in a unit visiting to deliver a Japan in a Box programme. The paper resources from the box were also made available on programmes on line. This resource couldn’t have been developed without the significant input of staff members. This input could have been planned further in advance. On average the programme had excellent take up across the UK. Over 1000 requests were made for the Japan in a Box through the sign up form and anecdotal evidence indicated that at least another 1500 visits were made by units across the country. Some Unit Leaders refused to engage with the programme at all meaning complete counties missed the opportunity to have Japan in a Box sessions run for them. In hindsight this issue should have been escalated to the line managers of the leaders concerned. An important secondary product of this initiative was to support the Unit Members with materials they could use to make presentations about the Jamboree. Feedback from Unit Leaders and participants indicate that this was successful. Looking to the next event The challenge with on event communications is possibly bespoke to Japan. We know that the site for the 2019 event has access to Wi‐Fi so participants and IST will be able to access the internet more freely. Additionally, we will feed back regarding more notice boards around the site. We think the Join in Jamboree resource this year was well received and, based on the positive feedback, would look for a similar model for 2019. The training for participants and Unit Leaders (Comms Champions) worked very well and there was a spike in good quality news stories appearing about the Jamboree. Technology at TSA should be improved to enable better quality communications to be shared with contingent members and consideration for an online repository. This is outside of the control of the contingent but will be proposed to TSA HQ. However, it was also noted that respondents to the survey favoured varied communication channels, there isn’t a one size fits all approach for communications. 22
