Activities – A complete list of events that give scouts helpful information such as location and details of activities, plus times for special events. Scouts can even create their own personal agenda that showcases only the activities they want to attend throughout the Jamboree.

Wait Times – Rather than having to wait in the long lines, scouts can view a full list of activity wait times in advance. By easily identifying which activities have little wait time, Scouts can spend more time doing and less time waiting.

Maps – A full selection of maps show the locations of shuttles, first aid stands, charging stations, and key points of interest. Scouts can also get directions and walk times to various points throughout the Summit Bechtel Reserve.

Notifications – Scouts can opt in to receive notifications on special activities, schedule changes, emergency information, weather updates, and more.

Please note: Continued use of GPS running in the background can dramatically decrease battery life.

App UI Feedback

Nice APP but - On the Jamboree App announced yesterday I found one issue that might cause UI problems. As a parent I cannot see Map until I enter a valid unit #. But if I enter son's Jambo troop number and go to map and find my group the map would show up during jambo showing all the parents in Texas and the Scouts in WV and scouts would have to zoom in alot to use the map efficiently. If unit type of "parent" or "Guest" or Troop 1 could be used then individual groups could be setup by families to track their scouts without messing up the True Jambo units.

Why bother with this?

There was a perfectly good app in EventTruly. Why did you need to push this app, other than to plaster an ATT logo on one more thing? Scouts had already started adding activities to their 'to-do' lists, and then you push this change at one month out. Now you're releasing updates that don't preserve data in the app. How many more of those will you have before the event? At this point, why even have the scouts looking at the app until they're on the bus?
