Welcome

Welcome to my Blog. I am one of the 5000 young people from the UK attending the 22 world scout jamboree in Sweden in July and August 2011. In this blog I will talk about the camps and meetings running up to the jamboree as part of "Avonasarus", the Avon unit of the UK, and then, hopefuly have almost daily posts from the jamboree site as it happens. Hope you enjoy reading and feel free to follow

Thanks for the memories!

The Jamboree is over. Scouts from all over the world have left for trips, short or long – some are leaving for home and some for new adventures. In only a few hours most participants had left the camp. A green field dotted with remnants of tents was the only thing left.
Countless of meetings have inspired friendship that will last a life time. Over the past two weeks, more than 40 000 Scouts took part in the largest Jamboree to date.
For many participants and adults this Jamboree marked their first international Scouting experience. Others, however, have travelled to multiple Jamboree’s, having had the opportunity to watch the Jamboree scene change, grow and expand.
Looking forward to Japan in 2015, participants will have huge opportunities in the way of exploring nature, science, global issues, community service, cultures and water activities. Being held from July 28 until August 8, 2015, the 23rd World Scout Jamboree in Japan is aiming to host a bigger and better Jamboree than ever seen before.
So, remember the time you spent in Sweden and at the 22nd World Scout Jamboree. Hold on to your memories and cherish them. For those who want there is a Jamboree Memory Package available for purchase. It contains a 200-page photo book, a video documentary, and lots of extra material.


I would also like to thank our awesome unit leaders for helping us all have the best jamboree experience possible!!!!
See you in Japan!
