The breakfast on the 8th of August will be emergency rations, which will also be used if an emergency occurs. However, as it would be difficult to distribute the emergency rations in the event of an emergency, the emergency rations will be included in the first distribution of food after arrival. Each unit will need to take care of its emergency rations. Other • 120g of rice per person per meal will be provided. When cooked, the amount increases to 180g • Breakfast will be an easy-to-cook meal • On Cultural Exchange Day (4th of August, 2013), the cuisine of Yamaguchi will be provided Food for CMT and IST members at Jamboree HQ Restaurant As food consumed at the Jamboree HQ Restaurant will be cooked offsite, it will be different from that of the Units.

Before Jamboree (1-1) Remember Scouts’ names and faces To monitor health and prevent accidents, it is important to memorize Scouts’ names and faces. In addition, it will be useful to gather information from the groups to which the Scouts belong on health conditions and any medical treatment requirements (e.g. religious objection to blood transfusion), so that accurate information can be given to medical staff. (1-2) Appoint a Person Responsible for Health Monitoring The appointment of a Unit Leader to be responsible for monitoring health in each Unit is recommended. The person appointed should have comprehensive expertise concerning first aid. In the case a long camp, issues such as homesickness, or women’s issue, should be addressed appropriately. Unit Leaders should pay attention to participants’ mental health and relationships as well as their physical health. (1-3) Immunization for Tetanus and Measles Immunization for tetanus and measles prior to the Jamboree is recommended. (1-4) Prevention of Introduction of Diseases into the Jamboree At previous Jamborees, as some participants with cornea inflammation attended, many people became infected with cornea inflammation. For one week prior to the Jamboree, monitoring of participants’ health conditions (body temperature, appetite, bowel movement, etc.) is recommended. In the case of Scouts, the assistance of parents would be useful. On the day of departure to the Jamboree, if anyone is unwell, such person’s departure for the Jamboree should be delayed or such person should not attend the Jamboree. (1-5) Handling of Knives At previous Jamborees, many participants using knives and hatchets were injured. To prevent injuries, practicing the use of knives and hatchets prior to the Jamboree is recommended. In the case of left-handed Scouts, it is important to check whether they can use the normal items, and if they cannot, to ensure that appropriate items are available for them. (1-6) Need for Special Care As the Jamboree will be held for 10 days in midsummer, if a participant, whether a leader or a Scout, has any health issues, they should reconsider whether their attendance at the Jamboree is advisable. The Jamboree Hospital does not provide services equivalent to those of a typical hospital and has limited supplies of medicines and equipment. If you are under medication, you should consult your doctor as to the advisability of attending the Jamboree. 2. During the Jamboree (2-1) Monitor Health Conditions To prevent illness, daily monitoring of health conditions, preferably 3-level monitoring of individuals, patrols, and units, is recommended. a) At the individual level, every participant should monitor their sleep, appetite, bowel movements, general health, and mental condition daily. Please instruct Scouts to use checklists. b) At the patrol level, the patrol leader or the person in charge of monitoring health should monitor the conditions of the members of the patrol. It would be useful to make a checklist to record the results of health monitoring, including appetite and complexion. c) At the Unit level, the Unit Leader responsible for monitoring health should check the checklists of individual Scouts and those of the Patrol, and make every effort to monitor the health of the members of the Unit. (2-2) Prevent Illness The 3 major health issues in outdoor activities are infection, heat stroke and injury, and their occurrence differs based on time, the nature of the activity and place. The Risk/Crisis Manager of the Unit will be responsible for implementing preventive measures and for responding if any incident arises. a) Heat Stroke During the Jamboree, the temperature could reach 35 degrees Celsius, as the Jamboree site is located in an area that experiences high temperatures in summer. Moreover, since the Campsite has virtually no natural shade, tarps and flysheets should be used to create shade and the tents need to be ventilated. During an activity, please keep in mind the following points. i) Protect the neck and back from the sun by wearing a hat and appropriate clothing. ii) When engaged in an activity in the sun, it is important to take frequent breaks and drink plenty of water (with salt). Make sure that Scouts bring drinks to the Programme. iii) Follow a routine, including consumption of appropriate food and sufficient sleep. It may be necessary in some cases to instruct Scouts to drink water regularly and ensure that they do so, pausing from an activity for that purpose, in addition to simply advising Scouts to drink plenty of water. Salt is also needed. Contrary to popular belief, most sports drinks do not contain enough salt and other minerals. Oral rehydration, using a mixture of 1 litre of water, a half teaspoon of salt, and 3 tablespoons of sugar, would be useful. b) Skin Disease Sunburn, blisters, heat rash, and eczema often occur. Steps should be taken to prevent sunburn. Sunscreen should be used and everyone should wear appropriate clothing. A hat with a brim is preferable, but if you are wearing a cap, also use a towel to protect your ears and neck. In the case of serious sunburn, consult the Hub Clinic. c) Mosquitos In the evening, people may be bitten by mosquitos. If you experience symptoms such as a high temperature or swelling, consult the Hub Clinic. (2-3) Wound Treatment In the event that someone is wounded, the wound should be washed with clean water (tap water at the Jamboree site is clean and suitable for this purpose). There is no need to use an antiseptic. When washing the wound, wear disposable gloves and be sure to wash out any foreign substance such as grit or an insect sting from the wound. Sterilization and drying of a wound are thought to delay healing. You could cover the wound with clean cling film and use an item such as gauze to absorb moisture. Band-Aid-type adhesive bandages should be prepared. (2-4) Medication Unit Leaders should not give any instructions regarding the application of any medication, whether used internally or externally. All participants should bring their own medications, including medicines for known conditions and colds, insect repellent, and sanitary items, and use them at their own responsibility. (2-5) First Aid at each Unit Basic treatment of injuries and illness should be provided in each Unit. Therefore, all leaders should acquire appropriate first-aid expertise prior to the Jamboree. (2-6) Items for First-Aid Kit The Unit Leader responsible for monitoring health should prepare at least one first-aid kit for each unit. Listed below are examples of items that should be included in the first-aid kit. Please note that medications should be selected that are suitable for individual members of the Unit and they should not be kept in the first-aid kit. ü Band Aid-type adhesive bandages ü Cling film ü Sanitized gauze ü Bandage ü Tape ü Triangular bandage ü Roll of adhesive bandage ü Cotton buds ü Water (500ml or 1 litre) ü Thermometer ü Tweezers ü Nail clippers ü Scissors ü Plastic bag ü Disposable gloves ü Alcohol for sanitizing hands ü Torch ü Notebook and pen (2-7) Preventive Measures for Injuries and Illnesses for Leaders Adult leaders may be injured in outdoor activities. According to the statistics for recent years, injuries to adult leaders account for over 20% of the injuries that occur, and fractures, sprains, and muscle strains account for 60% of the injuries suffered by adult leaders. During a long camp, chronic conditions such as high-blood pressure and diabetes may worsen. Adult leaders should maintain good health prior to the Jamboree and monitor their health during the Jamboree. 3. After the Jamboree (3-1) Communicate with Leaders and Parents of the Scouts Any illness or injury arising during the Jamboree should be closely monitored after the Jamboree. Such matters as the removal of sutures from a wound, observation of a head injury, and treatment of a suspected infection should be handled properly. It may be necessary for a doctor at an offsite hospital or at the Jamboree Hospital to write a referral for the patient’s personal doctor. All relevant information should be informed correctly to the patient’s parents. (3-2) Aftercare It is important to follow up Scouts’ conditions after the Jamboree through communication with parents and leaders and to give necessary assistance, in order support the Scouts’ health and ensure that everyone concerned has good memories of the Jamboree.
