We are no longer creating a book with all of the class handouts each year. Instead, that year’s handouts will be in a dropdown menu listed as individual PDF files. You can choose which class handouts you would like to download and print. After the Jamboree is over, handouts will be sorted into the Individual Handout Categories found below.
