The Swiss Jamboree
This is your opportunity to take part in a UK exclusive international
adventure attending the Swiss National Jamboree set in the stunning
mountain valleys of the Goms Valais, Switzerland.
The theme for the Jamboree is Everything in Motion.
You will be challenged both physically and mentally to achieve
personal progress and broaden your horizons.
As participants we will move with other scouts, experiencing different
languages and cultures from around the world.
Together we will make a difference.
Following on from the jamboree, the unit will return home via a
coastal location in France for 48 hours to unwind and reflect on the
amazing adventure we have had as a unit.
