Registration Frequently Asked Questions

Should we register in advance on on site?

In advance, please! When you register in advance, we know you are coming and can prepare your registration packet for your arrival. Your on site check in will be much faster. You can register in advance n three different ways:

Through the online forms under the "Registration" links on the WashJam.org home page
By mailing in the form found under the "Registration" links on the WashJam.org home page
By calling the Chief Seattle Council camping department at 206-725-0361

We've registered but need to change our headcount. Should we do that in advance?

Each Pack, Troop, Team, or Crew who plans to attend WashJam should register all Scouts and leaders under one registration. We want to communicate registration and arrival information with one point of contact for each unit, and the single registration will help simplify this. Once the unit has registered, the number of participants can be adjusted (upward) up to and including onsite arrival. If you have already registered and need to add participants or leaders, please do that in advance also.

How do we change our headcount?

Unfortunately, there is no way currently to modify your online registration. Here are the ways to modify your existing registration, regardless of whether you created it online, by mail, or phone:

Call the Chief Seattle Council camping department at 206-725-0361.
You can create a new online registration with just the additional people. You'll have to re-enter all the leader information when you do that. Follow up with a call or e-mail to the Chief Seattle Council camping department to tell them what you've done so they can make sure to connect all your registration records into one.
You can add to your registration on site. Please bring a check or credit card to pay for the additional registrations, and be prepared for this to take a while, since the contents of your check in packet will have to be adjusted on site.

Help! I entered our headcount when I registered at WashJam.org, but I've forgotten my password and can't edit it! What do I do?

Don't worry about the WashJam.org registration. Or maybe you should, if you thought registering on the web site registered you for WashJam. It did not. It only put you on a mailing list for WashJam information, and collected information we used to plan the event. There is no connection between registering on the website and actually registering your unit. If you have only registered for WashJam.org information, we don't know you are coming, are not preparing yoru check in packet, and have not collected your fees.

So if you only registered on WashJam.org, don't worry about fixing your password. Do use the online forms, mail in form, or a call to the camping department to complete your official unit registration for WashJam right away. Registering on WashJam.org is not really "registering".

Do we preregister as one-day participants?

Yes, we have preregistration available for day participants. The fee is the same for preregistration and on site registration, but you will check in faster and help us plan for the best experience for you.
