Hi everyone!
Welcome to my new Nortel LearniT Weblog covering the 21st World Scout Jamboree in Chelmsford, Essex, England, celebrating 100 years of Scouting. There will be 40,000 people from over 150 countries joining together for the challenge and excitement of Scouting, and sharing each other’s cultures & traditions
Check back regularly, as I’m hoping to provide a daily update & photos of what’s going on, and some video clips of the highlights.
Let me know if you have friends who will be attending, I’ll look out for them.
There are a number of people on site already building the main parts of the site, such as the main hubs, the stage etc, but the bulk of the adults are arriving Tuesday 24th, UK participants follow on Thursday 26th July, with all of the international participants arriving Friday 27th.
Many of those arriving Friday will have had a huge distance to travel, and some will have had a journey over 24 hours.
To all those coming to the Jamboree, have a safe trip, & I’ll see you Friday!

Greetings from Orlando, Florida. We left stateside have created our own little
” virtual subcamp”, fueled by the internet and atmosphere, courtesy of Promise FM.
If anyone sees Troop 215 from Central Florida, send greetings to “North Dakota” from his family and particularly his brother Logan, who yes, completed his Scout Leadership Training but lost 5 kg in the process!

Just seeing this page brings back memories of my time as a photographer at the XV World Jamboree in Kananaskis, Canada in 1983. Thanks for picture of part of the Canadian contingent! It’s great to see our country so well recommended with two flags. I hope the weather holds for you, and that each participant takes home special memories of their time in Cheltenham. Wish I was there, but I’m no longer involved in Scouting, so I don’t qualify.
