United Kingdom Jamboree Contingent Branded Kit

On Tuesday 19th April our large parcels arrived from Scout Shops. On informing the Unit that the kit had arrived I had several offers of help to unpack so we met at my Scout hut on Friday 22 April to do this and to get a first look at our cargo bags, day sacks, jackets, shirts, woggles and water bottles. It took a few weeks to distribute these to all members of the Unit and there were a few snagging issues with sizes and quality but overall it was a very exciting landmark. It also brought home to everyone the reality of the nearness of our departure.
