The Jamboree Driver Risk Zone
-->Are you a designated driver for your jamboree troop?
Drivers, you have agreed to accept an important responsibility. The safety of your passengers is your first priority. Do not drive when you are tired. Fatigue is a major cause of highway accidents and fatalities.
Commit to the Jamboree Drivers Pledge today!
- I will not drive when I feel fatigued. I realize that when I am fatigued, I process information slower and less accurately, which impairs my ability to react in time to avoid accidents.
- I will arrange my schedule so that before driving to the prejamboree campout or to or from the jamboree site, I get a good night's sleep, avoiding the cumulative effect of not getting enough sleep.
- I will make trip preparations far enough in advance so that last-minute preparations don't interfere with my rest.
- I will make travel plans that take into account my personal biological clock and only drive during the part of the day when I know I will be alert.
- I will pace myself if I am a designated driver. I will be smart about engaging in physical activities during the prejamboree and jamboree activities and will make sure that I will be ready to drive alert.
- I WILL DO ALL THAT I CAN TO KEEP SCOUTS SAFE!
