• Adverse weather: storms, flooding;
• Sudden structural collapse, or significant structural damage;
• A breakdown in the supply of essential materials and resources;
• If The Scout Association determine its members cannot travel to the Jamboree due to a concern for the safety of its members. This is as long as the reason to cancel travel is outside the control of the UK Contingent.
