The 25th National Scout Jamboree will be held from the 4th to 13th January 2019 at The Bend Motorsport Park, Tailem Bend, South Australia.
The Australian Jamboree is a massive event that is only held every 3 years.
The National Scout Jamboree is a chance to experience the best of Scouting in one place over 10 action-packed days. Camping as a community of Scouts from across Australia and the World, scouts experience everything from participation in stadium shows to adventurous activities.
The Jamboree site is a small city, housing & feeding over 13, 000 people. It includes stages, entertainment, activities, campsites, meeting places and food.
Tailem Bend Motorsport Park has a circuit over 7.5 Km long and provides opportunities for activities such as land yachting, solar and pedal car racing as well as electric scooters and go-carting.
Other activities are planned for the Woodhouse Scout Activity Centre, the Adelaide CBD and the city of Glenelg. The program will include a number of optional off site activities such as Ghost Tours of Old Tailem Town, Night Visits to the Monarto Zoo and Air Activities.
And there’s more…
Beach Party, circus training, junkyard, city tour, initiatives, nerf wars, laser tag waterslides, swimming, flying fox races, discos, hair colouring, trade school, zorbing, high ropes, market day, remote control cars, concerts, mud, tattoos, obstacle courses, bike riding, mud, water activities, snake charming, mud, etc., etc. (Did I mention the mud?)
Jamborees are a lot of fun, but also an immersion experience, building self-confidence and developing independence, responsibility, and self-reliance in the Scouts who attend.
The Sandgate Scouts are currently fundraising to assist with raising the $2475 for each scout to attend.
If you’re looking for some fun come along to our St Patrick’s Trivia Night this Saturday 17th March 6:30pm at Sacred Heart Church Hall, Sandgate. $15 entry.
