OUR JAMBOREE CHALLENGE TO YOU: COLLECT AS MANY SAUCE SACHETS AS POSSIBLE AND BRING THEM ALL TO THE CAMP.
THE SCOUT WHO BRINGS THE MOST WILL WIN A PRIZE!!!
New Information for 11th Chelmsford Scouts
If you're celebrating a birthday, or any special occasion, during the Jamboree let us know!!
As you all know, this is an International Jamboree!! So there will be Scouts and Guides from all over the world coming right here to Essex! Why not bring along some gifts from Chelmsford to share with the people you will meet. Something as simple as some postcards of Chelmsford are a great way to welcome new people to our town.
We will be camping on Canadian Wolf Subcamp.
Our Subcamp colour is red, and as can be seen on the map below we are nearest the activities field for the week.
