Hello my name is George and I'm very proud to say that I have been selected to represent the UK in 2019 at the World Scout Jamboree in West Virginia, USA. I'm fundraising for the trip there We have lots of fundraising activities planned to help us reach our goal.

What is the World Scout Jamboree?

The 24th World Scout Jamboree (WSJ) in 2019 is the world's biggest scouting event, which will be attended by 45,000 scouts from across the globe. Hosted at the Summit Bechtel Reserve, West Virginia, the camp will offer chances to learn about different cultures and discuss real world problems and conservation. This 24th World Scout Jamboree is unique because it is a team effort by Scouts Canada, Asociación de Scouts de México, and the Boy Scouts of America.

“World Scout Jamboree is above all an educational event that brings together the world’s young people to promote peace and mutual understanding and to develop leadership and life skills.” WSJ official website .
