WSJ 2011 Update 4

Here is a update from the Boy Scouts of America, this information only pertains to Western Region. The Information came to me in a e-mail. The information was about interviews for staff and adult leadership for the Western Region. Here is the e-mail:

Thank you for your interest in serving in a staff or leadership role in the 2011 World Scout Jamboree!

Bob Russell (our Western Region WSJ Chair) and I will be scheduling opportunities for you to interview with us in the coming months. Between now and December, we plan to be in a number of locations around Western Region and hope that one of these date / locations will be convenient for you. I tentatively plan to set up an opportunity in the Denver, CO area on Saturday, October 10 and one in the Portland, OR area on November 21. and we'll be passing along a number of additional dates and locations shortly.

The first opportunity happens in Seattle, WA on Saturday, September 19, 2009 from 9:00 AM to 11:00 AM. They will take place at the offices of the Chief Seattle Council located at 3120 Rainier Ave. S., Seattle, WA 98114. If you would like to take advantage of this opportunity, please contact my assistant, Elizabeth Vargas, at Elizabeth.Vargas@Scouting.org to set up a 30 minute interview.

Please monitor your email for postings of additional times and locations.

Thank you,
John

If you have not received this e-mail and applied for the 2011 World Scout Jamboree IST or adult leadership positions at least 1 month ago, please contact Elizabeth or your local council to see if they have processed your application. Your council must approve your application just like the 2010 National Jamboree online application process, this is likely where the hold up is.

Yours in Scouting Service
