1Overview of Juliette’s Jam 2020
Juliette’s Jam 2020 is a combination of skills events, troop team building activities and
Traditional Camp Activities. This year’s Jam offers troops the opportunity to participate in
some of the competitions (both at the troop and individual level), or just come out to have
fun and learn skills in the outdoors.
On Saturday troops will rotate between Outdoor Skills Events or have the option to take part
in the Traditional Camp Activities. Each troop will be given a schedule with your rotation at
check-in.
For the Outdoor Skills Events you can choose to be entered into the competitions (at the
troop or individual level) or not. Regardless, the skills will be presented to troops by age level.
If you have a multi-level troop you can stay together throughout the day, but we will divide
your skills events between your D/B/Jr and your C/S/A girls.
Regardless of whether you chose to compete or not, there are opportunities for your girls to
earn all or part of several badges. Please see the “Badge Requirements” column in the event
listing. Not all requirements for all badges can be met during the event, so leaders should
check each badge requirement. Resources for these badges can be found in the VTK and the
Girls Guide to Girl Scouting books.
The following pages contain the skills and events for the Outdoor Skills portion of the Jam.
You will notice that most of the activities are aimed at the troops working together. Where
noted as an “Individual Skill” those events are where individual girls have the opportunity to
show off their outdoor skills and compete with other girls in their age-levels. Points for
competitions will be awarded for both troop and individual competitions. If you do not have
any girls that want to compete in the events, the time at the station will be used to show your
girls the basics of the skill.
We look forward to seeing everyone at the Jam!
