Fun, friendship, new skills and memories to cherish for life. That’s exactly what six nights under canvas has provided at Hampshire’s jamboree, H0018. Over 1800 Scouts have participated but all good things must come to an end… at least until next time! Scout Adventures Buddens campsite has been bursting with activity for both young people and adult volunteers to enjoy. Rebecca, 10, from the 11th Andover Scouts, was invested at Brownsea Island this week and says she has loved everything about jamboree. She said: “This week has been really good and it meant so much to be invested where scouting started. I have had so much fun, it has been brilliant meeting so many new friends. We could stay here for another week!” Continue the jamboree experience online. Share your pictures and stories on social media using #H0018.
