Refund Policy
* $300.00 of initial payment is a non refundable deposit. Read the refund policy below ** Final payment will be adjusted down or eliminated based on final travel costs. Registration Information No one is considered fully registered until their payments are up to date according to the schedule above. Payment will be done by etransfer. You are welcome to pay the entire fee at once if you so wish. Please contact the Registrar at [email protected] If you are registering as an adult—either as a Unit Scouter or IST, please note you are “applying” to attend AJ2025. The number of adults attending from any country can not exceed the number of youth. If you are not accepted, 100% of payments will be returned to you as quickly as we can arrange it. Refund policy READ THIS CAREFULLY Scouts Canada needs to cover all costs incurred on behalf of the Jamboree Committee (CMT). We will act upon your application as a commitment and based on this promise will make non-refundable deposits on your behalf. Any refunds to participants will be net of non refundable deposit and expenses made to the date of cancellation of your registration which must be done in writing to [email protected] Initial payment of $1500 due by July 15, 2024 or upon registration plus a $300.00 non- refundable deposit.
Note: 26th Australian Scout Jamboree can be cancelled by the Australiann Scout Association or Scouts Canada will not issue an out of country travel permit, your Jamboree Team will refund every penny it can! This may take time as the Team works to recoup as many expenses as possible. The Australian Scout Association has the following notes in their presentations. “If the Jamboree is interrupted because of potential risks or events outside the Committee’s control (e.g. acts of terrorism, natural disasters, etc.) the Organizing Committee will not refund the fees paid.” Substitutions are allowed. Example: If Venturer A decides to withdraw in July 2023, but Venturer B wants to attend, three things need to happen. 1) E-mail from Scout/Ventuer A Family cc to Venturer B Family to Jamboree Registrar explaining withdrawal and substitution. (2) Jamboree Registrar will confirm to Families A & B the payments made to date. The families must manage the reimbursement. (3) Jamboree Registrar will send Family B remaining payment schedule and request banking information. Note that Scout/Venturer B will only be considered a participant once next payment has been received. Medical withdrawals will be evaluated on a case by case basis and will be as generous as possible. Requests for medical withdrawals must be accompanied by a doctor’s note. Any participant sent home for disciplinary reasons prior to the conclusion of the Jamboree will be responsible for their travel expenses and will not be eligible for any refunds. All payments must be made by pre-authorized etranser. In this world of electronic banking this is most economical and user-friendly method for families and our CMT volunteers. PADs only work for chequing or savings accounts. For all subsequent payments, you will receive an invoice not less than 72-48 hours prior to the next withdrawal. Note all withdrawals are scheduled for the first day of a month. You are responsible for ensuring adequate funds are in your account and any consequences. If there are problems with your withdrawal a member of our team will be in touch with you.
