Head of Contingent Minute – September 2025 (Contingent Newsletter Volume 4)

Registration is finally open and we’ve had over 200 youth and adults sign up so
far in the first few days. I’ve also been getting a few questions at our email
address usapoland2027@gmail.com which I am answering as quickly as
possible. These questions will also be added to an FAQ that we are developing
for our website. Speaking of the website, I hope you’ve noticed that it has been
much improved with more content added. Many people are putting in a lot of
time and effort on the Jamboree and I want to thank them for their efforts,
including those who you will read about in this issue and future issues.

Update on Contingent Preparations

Greg and I will be heading to Poland in a few days for a Head of Contingent meeting. While
there, we will be meeting with US Embassy personnel in Warsaw to discuss the Jamboree
and have plans in place for whatever may happen while we are over there in 2027. After we
get back we will have one or two webinars to talk about the Jamboree and answer any
questions you may have. These will occur in early October and those date(s) will be
announced shortly.

Recruitment is on for the Jamboree!
