Here we go again! I’m lucky enough to once again be going to a World Scout Jamboree. This this time around I’m going to be part of the International Service Team (IST). This is the team of Adult Volunteers from all around the World that help run the event for the Scouts that are attending. …
So our adventure was coming to an end and another early start at 5:30 meant we were up and packing ready to leave at 7:30, having said goodbye to Canadian Chris and leaving our Jamboree tents behind as a gift to the 1st Stroud Scout Group. We crossed the border back into the US and …
