Jamborees

Taking part in gatherings is an opportunity open to all in Scouting and GirlGuiding from all ages and at different levels from Cub Camp upwards but this scout is taking art in a scouting Jamboree which is a large gathering of Scouts either from the whole of Country such as the United Kingdom or from many Nations.

For instance The World Scout Jamboree is a Scouting jamboree of the World Organization of the Scout Movement, typically attended by several tens of thousands of Scouts from around the world, aged 14 to 17. 

The first World Scout Jamboree was organized in 1920 by The Boy Scout Association in London and today a gathering may have up to 50,000 Scouts from more than 150 countries around the World.

Pictured are the 1st Crawley, Sussex scouts selected to attend.

To represent your local Scouting Association and Country is a great honour.
