Our final group of scouts to visit the island of Ivo and the Jamboree arrived on Monday evening after an afternoon’s sightseeing in Copenhagen. They quickly settled into their cabins and were eager to know the details of the following day’s visit to the Jamboree site. There were a few groans as I announced that we would be leaving bright and early, but luckily everyone managed to make it to the bus on time.

So, the sun has finally returned to the island of Ivo and everybody is extremely happy! Our second group of scouts from Manchester, Bradford and Liverpool arrived after a long journey down from Trollactiv in Norway where they had experienced an action packed 3 days doing white water rafting, canoeing and rock climbing.

The sun was shining brightly as the first group arrived on the island of Ivo only 14km away fro the Jaboree site! The groups quickly settled into their cabins in order to enjoy the last of the afternoon sun. GLSE Scouts even decided to go for an evening stroll around the island to check out all the local hotspots. Unfortunately, the following day brought greyness and rain, however, this did not stop our lively campers as some set out for a hike, some took to the lake and some of the younger members of Fensham explorers even braved a bike ride!

There is just under 6 days left until the 22^nd World Scout Jamboree begins in Sweden and this means that there is now just a week before I head out to Sweden for what is set to be an action-packed Scouting adventure!

I’m looking forward to meeting the group with which I will be travelling and being part of a Scout Jamboree 8 years on from my visit to the World Scout Jamboree in Thailand.

Only two more weeks until I venture out to Sweden, home of the 22^nd World Scout Jamboree!

From Friday 29^th July, you can follow all the highlights as visiting groups set about discovering Sweden, take part in some exciting activities and visit the site of the 2011 World Scout Jamboree.
