22nd World Scout Jamboree, 2011

Shortly, we shall be appointing leaders for the County Contingent to the next World Scout Jamboree, in Sweden. If you will be over 18 years of age on 26 July 2011 and interested in one of these positions then please let me know. Further details of the Jamboree and the requirements for leaders are expected from HQ very soon. We would then like to move quickly and appoint up to 8 leaders, sufficient for two Units from Warwickshire.

Preliminary details of the Jamboree may be found on the official Jamboree web site:
