My name is Benji Cooper, I’m 13 and from the village of Marshfield. I have been selected to go on the 24th World Scout Jamboree in the summer of 2019 at the Summit Bechtel Reserve in Southern West Virginia, USA. This is hosted by the Scouts of America, Mexico and Canada. It is an incredible experience to be part of and something I have been hoping to do for a couple of years. I will be heading there with 45,000 Scouts and leaders from over 150 countries. I’ll be representing 1st Marshfield Scouts and Cotswold Edge District. To get there I will need to raise £3000. I am busy fundraising by selling home made products and organising some fun events. I’m grateful for all the support I have received and all contributions. I will be sharing my experiences over the next couple of years on social media and presentations to other Beavers, Cubs and Scouts in my area to inspire them.

Best Wishes

Benji
