Day visitors will begin their Jamboree experience at the J. W. and Hazel Ruby Welcome Center, located in Mt. Hope, WV on US Highway 19. West Virginia is a rural area, and most hotel rooms near the Jamboree will be reserved by groups supporting the Jamboree operation Anticipate a one to two hour travel time to and from the Jamboree each day. The 24th World Scout Jamboree does not provide transportation to or housing for day visitors on the Jamboree site.
The Jamboree covers a large area, most of which is covered by either grass or large gravel, and both heat and rain are always possibilities in West Virginia. Make sure you wear footgear appropriate for walking outdoors over ground that is not completely level and is prepared for rain by bringing along your rain gear. But most of important you need to ensure you remain hydrated; bring along, fill, and use a water bottle.
