Day Visit to the World Scout Jamboree
We visited the World Scout Jamboree site at Hylands Park in Essex on Saturday 4th August.
The site was massive, and a lot of work had obviously been done to make it into a venue for 40,000 Scouts. We
went to the lunchtime show in the arena, visited the Mountain Hub where Lawrence was based and looked at a
small fraction of the many displays.
It was rather overwelming (but at the same time pleasing) to see all the different Scouts from so many different
countries. Grace was given a worry doll by a Scout from Guatemala, Elspeth had some Henna painted on her hand
by a Sudanese Scout Leader, Eric was paired with a Cub Scout from Cwmbran in Wales to do Crate Stacking, and I
swapped badges with an American Scout Leader.
More details about the Jamboree are on the
Scouts.org
site or on its own
site.
