Sorry for lack of updates, but we only just got internet access on our hub!
So let's start from the beginning!
Day 1 - 26th Juky 2007
We set off from the City of Manchester stadium at 7.00am, and finally arrived at the Jamboree some several hours later at 1.15pm.
We then set up camp, in some very windy weather, with the added addition of a heavy rainfall! This destroyed the marquee, but hey it all looks great!
We then had a UK Contingent BBQ and party at the Tropical Hub, a good 20 minutes walk! The party included acts as Liberty X and Lemar.
That was it for the first day!
Day 2 - 27th July 2007
All the Scouts from the rest of the world are now arriving, and the day was a great opportunity to go out and meet lots of Scouts and have some fun badge trading!
That was it for Friday, the last relaxed day we have!
Day 3 - 28th July
The opening ceremony! Things kicked off with some entertainment at our Sub-camp HQ, with some music and lots of cheering!
We were then let by a kinight on a horse to the main arena to join 40,000 other Scouts, the oepning ceromony was good and involved lots f songs and entertainment. His Royal Highness Prince William opened the ceremony, although he didn't say anything, and the official world flag was parachuted in!
Then this afternoon, I managed as a YSP to get involved with a project called Scout Tube aiming to get Scout's views on to the internet through 30 second sound bites. This is fun, and will last the whole Jamboree and on! Take a look at: http://btscouttube.com/
That is it for now!
I'll blog again soon, and hopefully the weather will hold out, it is beautiful sunshine at the moment! Splash tomorrow!
Ben.
