Last Saturday we were invited to see a slide show, presented by a local Scout called Callum, who had been selected to attend the World Scout Jamboree in Sweden which was held in late July and early August 2011. To enable him to be able to attend, he had to raise money for the trip and, for Callum, that involved things such as arranging Quiz Nights and selling at Car Boot Sales . . . Sweet Moments helped with a couple of raffle prizes along the way.
Along with the slide show, Callum had a collection of scout shirts that he had obtained by swapping with other Scouts at the Jamboree, lots of literature on Scouting in general and a collection of badges and scarves (also swaps). He also had the enormous bag/rucksack thing that had to fit all his clothing, tent and (many) other items that you need at a Jamboree. Scouts do not travel light!
It was a privilege to be invited along and to see the results of the fund raising events that enabled him to attend the Jamboree. Thank you Callum!
