The 24th World is building an International Service Team (IST) of up to 9,000

Scouters to deliver the jamboree program.

Scouts who are at least 18 years of age at the start of the jamboree are welcome to join the IST. IST members should be ready to perform any tasks necessary for the jamboree. In addition, IST members must register and attend the jamboree as part of a National Scout Organization contingent. In general, the more Participants registered with the contingent, the MORE IST members we will be allowed to bring, so take every opportunity to encourage youth in your Group and Area to register!

International Service Team Experience Vision

To ensure that each and every staff member of the 24th enjoys a welcoming, well planned, and safe environment that allows them to provide Scouts and Scouters from around the world the experience of a lifetime. We will do this by developing and providing each staff member access to sufficient training, opportunities for fellowship, clear roles and accountabilities, flexible work schedules where possible, and the support necessary to make meaningful contributions to the event while experiencing being a valued member of the World Jamboree IST.

Translation: IST members will NOT be asked to clean the toilets or haul garbage.

IST members will work as part of a team and we are looking for people with a positive attitude who are ready to lend a hand with whatever needs to be done.

The IST Registration Process for the Canadian Contingent:

1. Register as an IST candidate at https://www.eply.com/Canada‐WJ19/signin (be sure to complete all mandatory fields and ensure you receive a confirmation message on the screen after clicking Submit) 2. Be patient ‐ To build the best possible team, IST members will have the opportunity to express their top three volunteer job preferences when the position application process opens (later this Fall). IST candidates become IST prospects upon clearance by their NSO, and the entry of candidate details, including three areas of interest, in the registration system of the 24th World Scout Jamboree. A catalogue of IST jobs with a description will be provided once it becomes available. Please note: applications of IST members must be approved by their National Scout Organization before the jamboree planning team can make a job assignment (that is why you must register first). 3. IST prospects will appear in the registration system according to their areas of interest. They will be placed in a queue for review by the appropriate staff member of the 24th World Scout Jamboree planning team. If the IST prospect is not selected for their first choice, then they will go to their second choice. The process continues for their second and third choice. If an IST prospect has not been approved for their third choice, the IST prospect will be placed in a general queue for selection by any appropriate staff of the 24th World Scout Jamboree, including the Canadian Contingent Management Team. There is the possibility that an IST prospect may not get selected by any of the staff leadership. Therefore, it is possible that an IST prospect may not be selected by the 24th World Scout Jamboree. 4. An individual becomes IST staff after: 1. Completion of the IST Candidate process 2. Completion of the IST Prospect stage 3. Selection by a member of the 24th WSJ Planning team or Contingent, and the IST prospect is offered and accepts the IST Staff position.
