Great news ... the registration site for AJ2013 is up and running. So what do you do now? It's as easy as 1-2-3-4-5.

1. Check out the criteria for attending - for Scouts, Venturers and Leaders
2. Grab your membership number, your email address (or use your parents if you don't have your own), and a digital passport size photo you can upload to the site
3. Have a tape measure or something to measure you head and your chest size so you can select the right size hat and shirt
4. Know your Medicare card number
5. Get your permission from your parents (if you're under 18 years of age)

Once you've got all this, you're set to go. If you have any questions, refer to the User Guide.

Remember, applications are due at Region HQ by 15 March 2012. Don't put off until tomorrow what you can do today, otherwise you might miss out on your chance to live your dream at AJ2013.

Happy registering!

The AJ2013 NSW Contingent executive has decided to run a competition to design the badge for the Jamboree. Entries are invited from all Scouts, leaders and other members of the Scouting community. (Non-uniformed supporters are welcome to enter.)

Full details of the design competition are available on the AJ2013 NSW Contingent website.

The AJ2013 NSW Contingent web site is now available at aj2013.patroltent.com. The web site will be one of the primary methods of communication between the NSW Contingent and Jamboree attendeees.

The web site will have content such as:

• news about the Jamboree and the Contingent,
• manuals and forms for participants, and
• newletters.

During AJ2013 the website will be updated with articles and photos about NSW troop activities.
