We could do a trip to the US for the 100 year Jamboree.
Or wait and do Japan dor the world Jamboree.
Also we could do a joint sleep over with a groop form to or montreal.
juist a thought

The trip to the US might be interesting, but logistics would be
difficult no? This would be more Scouts than anything else.

We are talking about a trip by train to Montreal for the Cubs, and
hooking up with a group in Montreal. If not this year, next year for
sure.

As for Japan, I will be going with my two kids for sure. The site for
the 2015 World Scout Jamboree is http://www.23wsj.jp/, the
announcement that Japan won can be found here:

What about Beavers, have they ever done trips like this? I kind of
remember a number of years back that the Beavers, Cubs, and Scouts
each had a Jamboree on separate years at Fitzroy Harbour, it was open
to Voyageur Council.

What about taking the Sr cubs and Scouts to the US it is not that
hard, a tour permit is 1 month ahead, our hurtal will be getting
passports for all. We could take the train to Montreal and have a
sleep over and do the bio dome, or over night at the space center or
ROM in Toronto is doable. Scout level could do a trip to a Inuit town
on Hudson Bay, the fee for a 1 week excursion through educational
company is between 250 and 300 per person flights included.These are
just idea and there are more where they come from, you Duane broke the
dam :) so have fun!

A trip to the US would be difficult for some people as they don't have passports (myself and kids included) A trip anywhere in Canada I would definately love to go on.
