UK Contingent All Adult Weekend - 20 May 2011
The main events were in a blue and yellow circus tent which dictated the fancy dress theme for Saturday night so we also had a bit of a party!
We found out more about our various transits, the exciting plans for Pre-Event in Copenhagen, Subcamp Life, which Jamboree Town we will be on, our Jamboree Programme, the In Touch arrangements, the fantastic plans for a cashless Jamboree, Food, Camp-in-Camp and Home Hospitality.
We also have some gifts for the Unit from the UKCMT.
Only 62 days to go!

Final Training Weekend - April 2011
Over the weekend we celebrated a birthday, refined the pioneering project for our gateway, learnt how to cook fish and chips for the Jamboree's Cultural Festival, washed our clothes (in a paddling pool), found out about tick bites, revisited personal hygiene, designed patrol flags, had a campfire, distributed Unit hoodies and held a parents' meeting. Each patrol also entertained us with interesting (and some very amusing) facts about London, Denmark, Sweden and Finland.
The programme looked exhausting but Charlotte wrote to the Leaders on her return home
"Thank you for such a fun weekend and I can't wait to go to the Jamboree!"

JiJ at the 18th Edmonton

On May 6th, Izzy, Lydia and Cinzia, with David, took Join-in Jamboree to the 18th Edmonton. The Unit have now delivered Join in Jamboree to many Groups around Greater London North and still have more to deliver.
Join-in Jamboree meetings involve the Unit members introducing themselves and explaining what the Jamboree is, videos about the Jamboree and introducing all the Unit members and the activities and training they have done, section-appropriate games and activities and what is always an active Question and Answer session to close.
Delivering the Jamboree to the younger members in the County spreads the Jamboree message, and there are always plenty of Scouts who say they want to go to the next one!
