We are privileged to be two of 3,240 young people that have been selected from the UK to join 50,000 young people taking part in the World Scout Jamboree. The Jamboree is a skills, cultural and adventure festival happening in sensational and scenic South Korea. We will be meeting thousands of Scouts from nearly every country in the world sharing my skills.
The World Scout Jamboree offers young people the chance to learn new skills that they can use in other aspects of their life as well as campaign for change on key world issues that matter to us. In preparation for a roarsome time, young people from the UK Contingent have adopted a logo featuring a Siberian tiger, the national animal of Korea. They have named the tiger Chingu a word that means friend in Korean.
Between now and July 2023 we will attend training camps and team building events preparing us for living on the hot and humid site in SaeManGeum, Korea. The Korean hosts of the Jamboree have challenged participants to Dream Wild and as part of our Jamboree journey, we will have the opportunity to discover new cultures and take part in activities focusing on the environment, skills development, and global development issues.
Please continue to support us on our journey, as we share the exciting adventures in the coming months.
Thanks, Amanda and Harriet
