Every 4 years there is a World Scout Jamboree. In my scouting life I'll only get this one opportunity to attend a World Jamboree. The next one is the 25th and will be on the Island of Saemanguem in South Korea. It will be attended by approximately 40,000 young people, from all over the world on to one site.

After a hard selection event, I have been lucky enough to be selected as one of the 36 scouts to represent Suffolk and UK Scouting at the World Scout Jamboree.

This is a once in a lifetime experience and the only thing that stands in my way is raising £3995 pounds to cover the associate costs to attend. This is one of the higher fees in the world as we (the UK contingent) provide solidarity funding to less developed countries to make it as cheap as possible for them to attend.

I have great support from the 14th Lowestoft scout group, friends, family and clubs to assist. But every penny counts.

I have lots planned to hopefully raise the sum required between now and Summer 2023, but if you could help by making a donation on this page that would be greatly appreciated.

Should for any reason George Potter be unable to attend this event – the World Scout Jamboree in South Korea in 2023 – then the funds raised in their name will be held in trust by the trustees of the Suffolk County Scout Council to be used at their discretion to support young members of Suffolk Scouts to attend international event

Thanks George Potter (aged 13)
