Apologies & My Unit

        Just before I starting talking about jamboree I want to say sorry for not posting anything for 3 weeks. I have decided that Fridays are definitely not the best days for me to post on as I have 4 and a quarter hour rehearsals for Grease at the Elgiva in Chesham (a town near me if you don't know where that is). So I think I'm going to change to Monday nights as I don't do anything on Mondays so it should all be good now.
        Again sorry now on with JAMBOREE DETAILS!!!

        So a couple of days after I lasted posted I received a letter in the post from one of my 4 leaders, Ian Drummond who is representing Buckinghamshire (which is my unit area).
        So at first I was very confused who my unit was made up of however now it is clear so I will explain it to you guys. There are:

  • 9 from Buckinghamshire including me
  • 9 from Berkshire
  • 9 form Hampshire
  • 9 from Kent
        So as you can see for our unit it is going to be difficult meeting up regularly, however if you think that is going to stop us from going all I can say is NEVER!!!
         Now for some more information on the World Scout Jamboree!!!
It takes part every four years in a different country, the last one in Sweden, the next one in Japan, and the one after that is going to be held in West Virginia!!! There will be roughly 30,000 young people going from all over the world. The main part of the Jamboree is held from the 28th July to the 8 August.
        
        I am part of unit 75 which is the last unit formed from the UK. Our unit has just had a Facebook page made for it and there are many UK Contingent pages which are open so you guys can see all the friendly faces and news about the Jamboree.

        One of the exciting things spotted recently was a plane sporting the Jamboree logo. Check out this video:

        So I'll keep you guys up to date with any news and other exciting stuff going on with my unit and the UK Contingent.
