Trouble Shooting: Most questions can be answered in the FAQ section at www.bsajamboree.org.
Many people are having problems registering their sons – try this: Are you using your MyScouting account or your sons? It states on the log in page screen of MyScouting that all jamboree applications have to be submitted from the account of a parent or guardian.
If you are using your sons either:
1. Start a new MyScouting account of your own using a different email address.
2. Log into an existing MyScouting account of your own if you already have one.
3. Log into your son’s account. Go to “My account” change your sons name to yours. Submit. Go to “My Profile”, “Modify Profile”, “Modify Membership Information”.
You can either just delete out your sons id number and leave it blank or enter your id number if you have one. Change the council to No Council or put your council if you are registered. Submit. Then you should be able to get through. When you click on the link for the youth application a box will come up, that is where you will put your son’s id number.
