A World Jamboree

There aren’t many people who can say that they camped for 2 weeks with 33,000 other scouts from 156 different countries and territories. Those who can, including myself will tell you that it is a truly life changing experience.

From the 19^th of July until the 13^th of August, myself and 300 other Australian scouts and leaders travelled around Japan and participated in the 23^rd World Scout Jamboree in Yamaguchi, Japan. It was an action packed few weeks where we experienced everything from tea ceremonies, to the exhilarating rides at Disneyland. There were so many amazing experiences and highlights which I look forward to sharing with you all over the coming weeks. 

Since I’ve been home, all my friends and family have been asking what the best thing of the whole trip was. My answer is simple- living with scouts from all over the world for 2 weeks, sharing each others cultures, languages and exchanging friendships.

Those weeks I spent in Japan are ones that I will never forget. I’m so looking forward to sharing my Japanese adventure with you all!
