You're in luck! Even though the NSW Contingent shop was busy, busy, busy from the start through until the finish of AJ2013, we still have a selection of items available for sale. Shirts and winter gear, hats and badges, even Kennys can still be bought.
So if you want to replace something you ruined at Challenge it! or if you want to get ready for the coming winter, we have NSW Contingent polo shirts in selected sizes, as well as some of our hoodies, sleeveless vests and long sleeved jackets. To see some of our great gear, click here.
If you didn't get to buy all the badges you wanted before your coach left the site, we have some of those left, too.
And if you forgot to buy a Kenny mascot (he's an action figure stuffed toy, not a doll!), we've got some Kenny's, too.
Buying is easy: simply download the order form, complete it and send it - with your cheque - to the address on the form. Orders will be fulfilled on a 'first come, first served' basis and will be mailed to you in the middle of April. Check below for the postage costs and remember to include that in the total of your cheque.

In less than a week thousands of Scouts will gather at Maryborough Showgrounds in Queensland Australia, for the 23rd Australian Scout Jamboree. The radio station on site, 90.9 JAM FM will be the centre of information for everyone. Make sure you like the official 90.9 Jam FM Facebook page for information leading up to the event, and bring a FM radio with you so you can listen in if you are coming to Jamboree. For those who cannot attend and want to listen in from home you can stream online 24 hour a day anywhere in the world.
On the Contingent packing weekend we handed out the Bulletin # 3. If you don't have it yet, please speak with your Jamboree Troop Leader.
Along with Bulletin # 1 and Bulletin # 2 and the information on this website and in the Parents Guide and the Leaders Guide, after reading Bulletin # 3 you should know everything there is to know to be prepared to live your Jamboree dream in Maryborough.
If you still have questions and you can't find the answer from these publications or your Jamboree Troop Leader, you can always ask Kenny. For a kookaburra, he sure does now a lot!
See you in Maryborough in less than one month.
P.S. It's not too late to buy your NSW Contingent gear. The NSW HQ shop will be open for the entire Jamboree. You never know what you might find for sale!
On 20 November the Fraser Coast Chronicle featured an article - called Scouting for Snags - on just some of the food which is to be consumed at the Jamboree. Now we've all taken part in fundraising BBQs but I don't think any of us can imagine having to cook 168,000 sausages!
By kind permission of the Fraser Coast Chronicle, the article is here for you to read. Happy reading.
