Physical examinations will be by a licensed health-care professional and will be subject to review and evaluation by the jamboree subcamp, regional and national Medical Service. Not completing the fitness examination process by the May 2010 deadline may limit or even prohibit your jamboree participation, and you will be subject to being sent home at your expense. Participants are subject to a medical recheck upon arrival to verify provided information and current fitness. In the event a participant is found medically unfit at this time, he cannot serve and must return home at his own expense.
