essex international jamboree
Building new friendships at the Essex International Jamboree 2008
Orion Troop attended its first jamboree last week, held at Thorpe le Soken in sunny Essex. We joined some 10,000 other young people from a wide range of units, including cubs, scouts, explorers, brownies, guides and rangers and of course, many attended from overseas.
The jamboree was hosted on farmland which had been divided up into sub-camps. We were on the Red Panda subcamp, denoted by our red scarf and badge.
Scouts were involved in a wide range of activities including:
- It's a Knockout!
- Water Activities
- Challenge Activities
- Incident Challenge
- Eco Experience
...and lots more besides.
Here are just a few photographs showing what the Scouts got upto over the week.
