There are five trading areas available to participants at the Jamboree:
* The Plaza
* The Desert Hub (this is the one closest to us!)
* The Mountain Hub
* The Ocean Hub
* The Tropical Hub
(There's also an Island Hub for adults only). Each one is different, and outlets start opening from around 07:00, and all are closed by 22:30 (not all outlets are open all the time).
Sainsbury's
There are Sainsbury's Supermarkets in the Plaza, Desert Hub (near us!), Tropical Hub, and the Island Hub. All of them sell sweets, soft drinks, crisps and snacks, biscuits, and basic First Aid stuff. Additionally, the Desert and Tropical Hub Sainsbury's sell sauces, spices, herbs, toiletries, female hygiene products, cleaning materials and "other bits and pieces".
The Island Hub (open to adults only) also sells newspapers, cigarettes, and over the counter medicines.
Food Outlets
There are a number of food outlets around the place. In the Plaza the Scout Food Houses offer a range of foods from around the world. The Desert and Tropical Hubs have some catering facilities, with more comprehensive facilities at the Mountain and Ocean Hubs.
Costs
Typical costs will be:
Ice Cream £1 - £2
Canned Drink 60p - £1
