During the summer 13 members of Whitley bay district went to the 22nd world scout jamboree in Sweden. Its taken us til now to get our heads around what happened... We left from Newcastle airport and landed in Copenhagen which was far sunnier. We had a bit of a laugh on some power boats which went at a slow 90mph nearly losing loosely attached body parts... When we got to the actual jamboree we crawled around the site for an hour as they didnt know where our pitch was. At the jamboree everyone was friendly and happy you couldn't go five minutes without a hello, bonjour or areet. We experianced bad hairdressing, disease, and poor hygene which meant it was the best 3 weeks of our lives :) Whatever happened we had a laugh including people throwing up on other people (it's a sign of bonding). We then had to leave our international friends behind to go and stay in the Czech Republic for a few days before being flown back to Newcastle and being united with our families (and Greggs) once more. Had to be the best 3 weeks of our lives. I left simply scouting as a warrior of peace.
