World Scout Jamboree

Between the 24th July and 12th August, I travelled along with 3,500 others from the U.K to the 22nd World Scout Jamboree in Sweden. We started off in Denmark for a pre-Jamboree event. This was compiled of sports events, speed boats, theme parks and a party. The main Jamboree first congregated 38,672 scouts in a rural field near Rinkaby. For 12 days we talked, exchanged badges and became friends on the 2.4km wide campsite that was effectively our own town, with hospitals, supermarkets, showers and entertainment. Being in the winter sub-camp, we also had an ice skating rink. Activities were centred around the theme of ‘simple scouting’ and being sustainable.
After this we went to Finland for home hospitality and stayed with hosts, we learnt so much about their culture and they learnt some of ours too! All of the Jamboree was very memorable and it definately was the best 3 weeks of my life.

Website Rebuild

The website is currently under a complete rebuild, you may be unable to find certain elements of the site and things will be constantly moving. I will try and keep the site in a usable state whilst I am doing this, and hope to have the site back completely by next week.

Thanks, Kai Brittain
