We were No. 89 on the wait list. We were notified on November 11, 2001,
that we were given an open spot departing on August 5. We were given a
choice of three dates early in August.
I attended the Training Center in June and checked in with Registration. At
that time I was told that it was unlikely we would be called. Only two
groups on the wait list had been notified at that time. I understand that
in 2001, they reached down several hundred, however this was caused more
from Councils overbooking during a National Jamboree year.
Later I heard through my Council that a number of units cancelled or reduced
the number of treks following Sept. 11.
Hope this helps you. If I were you, I would begin planning and tell the
boys to start saving their money just in case.
