BOOKINGS BOOKING YOUR GROUP When will bookings open? Bookings will open for Beaver Colonies and Cub Packs on MyScouts.ie (MMS) on Monday 12ᵗʰ October at approximately 12 noon. Who can book us in? Those with the role of Group Leader, Deputy Group Leader, Group Secretary and Section Leader on MyScouts MMS are the only people permitted to make a Section booking for the JamÓige Event. Section Leaders can book their own section only; Group Leaders and Group Secretaries can book both Beavers and Cubs. Pro Tip: Ensure the right people are assigned to each of these MMS roles ahead of time. Check that your booking person can access the corresponding Cub/ Beaver records in ˮManage profilesˮ. What information will be required when booking? You will need to know the names of the young people and adult Scouters that you wish to book in. It is very important that all Beavers and Cubs that you wish to attend the event are on MyScouts and registered as you will be required to select them in your booking.
page 4
Pro Tip: Donʼt overbook! Collect deposits from Beaver/ Cub Scouts to ensure commitment before locking in numbers by booking. This will also help us ensure that as many Beaver Colonies and Cub Packs can attend the event as possible by avoiding number inflation. Can we just give a number of places and provide names later? No; the booking requires named participants. This allows the event team to have the participant information required for an event of this scale and ensures places are allocated correctly between the fixed Beaver and Cub capacities. What happens if we don't know exactly who will attend when bookings open? Groups will need to identify the youth members and Scouters they intend to bring and select their names on MyScouts when booking. Places are limited, so groups should make their best assessment before registration rather than relying on being able to add names later. How many Scouters can attend with my Colony/Pack? As many Scouters as you require may attend. Minimum Scouting Ireland camping ratios apply. Groups who book excess numbers of Scouters may be contacted to validate the booking.
page 5
We have Venture Helpers, can they come with us? No. Ventures, if attending, must apply to join the event as Staff. They will not camp with the Group onsite, but they will be welcome to visit their Group when available. We want to share our dining facilities with another group; can we book the same Subcamp? Bookings are made for the event rather than specific subcamps. If you want to camp with another Group, we will do our best to accommodate you when allocating the subcamps. We will seek this information from Groups after bookings close. Please note that Beaver and Cub sections are not camping together so please plan accordingly. Can we transfer one of our places to another Group? No. Forfeited places will be added to the waiting list and offered to groups on the waiting list on a first-come, firstserved basis.
Payment What will be the required deposits on booking? The required deposit shall be 50% of the event fees for the section attending. An Invoice will be raised for each Group on the Groupʼs profile. Groups have until 11 December 2026 to submit their deposit. The balance for the event shall be required by 27 February 2027.
page 6
Payments can be made through MyScouts MMS, where an invoice will be raised against the Scout Group. If paying by bank transfer, please ensure to use the Booking Reference on your payment. Who can pay on MyScouts? Payments may only be made by the Group Leader, Deputy Group Leader, Group Treasurer or Group Secretary. The payment schedule must be adhered to. Failure to do so may result in the booking being cancelled and removed from the event. Important: Your booking is not confirmed until payment has been received. Are deposits refundable if a youth member or Scouter can no longer attend? The first deposit payment is non-refundable. Once a booking has been submitted and payment made, deposits cannot be refunded if numbers change or if a cub, beaver or Scouter can no longer attend. Please ensure all details are correct before completing your booking. When is the event balance due? The balance for the event shall be required by 27 February 2027.
page 7
What happens if we do not pay the balance by the deadline of 27 February? Your booking will be forfeit and your places will be offered to another Scout Group. Can parents pay directly for their youth member's place? No. This is a Group-level booking, so the process for collecting payment from parents needs to be arranged at Group level.
Changes, cancellations & capacity What if I need to amend my booking? All booking queries should go to events@scouts.ie where a member of staff will be able to assist you. Amendments can only be made prior to payment. Event queries should be sent to jo27.admin@scouts.ie. What happens if one of our booked youth members drops out before JamÓige? The place may be reassigned within the Group to another eligible youth member in the same section. If this is not possible we may reallocate the place but any deposit made will be forfeit.
page 8
What happens if a Beaver moves to Cubs before JamÓige? Beaver and Cub places are allocated separately and cannot be transferred. Any such internal movements in a Group will need to be factored into your initial booking. What happens if JamÓige reaches capacity? Places are allocated on a first-come, first-served basis. A waiting list will be available for places that subsequently become available due to cancellation. How does the waiting list work? This will be managed via a Microsoft Form. The link will be shared upon the event reaching capacity. Can we book additional places after our initial booking? Additional places can only be booked if capacity remains either on our initial booking system or the waiting list.
Support & next steps How will we receive updates about our booking? You will receive updates via emails admin@scouts.ie OR events@scouts.ie.

SUBCAMPS Subcamps are the beating heart of JamÓige! Subcamps will camp together, attend programme zones together, and will each have their own activities, theme and chant. They are a great opportunity to make lasting friends beyond JamÓige. Each Subcamp will also have a dedicated team of Staff, headed by a Subcamp Chief, ready and able to support Cub Packs and Beaver Colonies with any questions. Subcamps will be assigned in January 2027 once bookings close, so Groups will have plenty of time to prepare their gates, site decorations and theming ahead of the event.
BEAVERS SUBCAMPS Beaver Colonies will be allocated to one of two Subcamps, each containing approximately 250 Beavers. THE AMAZON
