REMINDER – If you have youth members in your patrol still registered in Cubs, please note that those youth need to be registered in Troop by April 1st 2024. (All participants must be at least 11 by July 6, 2024).
Cubs working on their Seeonee Award can finish the final requirements while registered with Troop.

Pacific Jamboree 2024 announces expanded Participant capacity and the reopening of Participant registration
Due to the overwhelming demand for Participant registrations at Pacific Jamboree 2024, the Camp Chair and Organizing Committee are excited to announce additional registration capacity for Participant Patrols. With this added capacity comes a fourth Participant Subcamp.
The PJ 2024 Organizing Committee was overwhelmed with the fantastic response to registration and has since been working hard behind the scenes organizing everything to make the jamboree a success. The committee realized many Scouts from across BC, Canada, and the world were disappointed when they were unable to secure a spot, and the waitlist quickly grew. After some careful deliberation and additional planning, the decision was made to open a fourth Participant Subcamp to allow additional Scouts to attend PJ 2024.
Registration will reopen on February 1, 2024, at pacificjamboree.ca. A total of 50 Patrol spaces, or 500 individual spaces, will be made available. When either maximum is reached, registration will close, and a limited waitlist may be formed.
Patrols currently on the waitlist will be contacted by the PJ 2024 registration team with the next steps in completing their Patrol’s registration.
Please note, this registration opening is for new Patrols only. All requests to add members to existing patrols will be denied.
Be sure to keep an eye on pacificjamboree.ca for the latest information and to access the registration portal.
Behind the scenes, the PJ 2024 Organizing Committee and all departments are working quickly and efficiently to bring all aspects of the jamboree together. This includes the Program team working to increase capacity for the additional Participants.
The PJ 2024 Organizing Committee appreciates the incredible interest in the jamboree and appreciates your continued patience as we work through this unprecedented Pacific Jamboree growth.
Questions regarding the additional Patrol spaces can be directed to the PJ 2024 Camp Chair, Andrew Dallas at adallas@scouts.ca.
Offers of Service (OOS) registration remains open with many roles to be filled across the jamboree. Registration confirmations will be sent in due course.
The PJ 2024 registration team appreciates your continued patience.
