Sea Scouts at Eurojam
10.08.2005
Nineteen Sea Scouts from Solihull have just returned from an action packed twelve days at the European Scout Jamboree held in Hylands Park, Essex. Eurojam was the largest Scout camp in the UK since 1957, attracting over 10,000 Scouts from 67 countries around the world.
The young people, all from Knowle Sea Scout Group, camped with Scouts from Portugal, Malta, France, Canada and Germany. They took part in a range of activities such as canoeing, caving and climbing, spent a day working at a residential care home for elderly people, and visited the home of Scouting at Gilwell Park.
The Sea Scouts also met the Chief Scout Peter Duncan, partied the night away at rock concerts, learned how to make the planet a better place, met Scouts from all over the world and acquired new skills including juggling, languages, pioneering and crafts. The Sea Scouts were also selected to feature on BBC television, radio, and their website.
They all had a fantastic time and are already looking forward to spending the rest of the summer doing water sports, and getting ready for their next camp!
