We joined the Beckenham and St Martins scouts for an information evening re the 2013/14 NZ Scout Jamboree, on the 6th August.
It was for scouts, older cubs and parents at the St Martins den.
Once every 3 years the NZ Scout Jamboree is held. This is the highlight
for any Scout and not to be missed. The Jamboree runs for about 8 days
and starts about 29^th Dec . It involves about 5000 Scouts. Its normally
held in Hamilton, (Mystery Creek), Fielding (near Palmerston North) or
Christchurch (AMP Show Grounds).
The last Jamboree was held at Mystery Creek in 2010.
*The 2013 Jamboree will be held in Fielding - the dates are 28 December
2013 - 5 January 2014.*

- Introduction (what a Jamboree is etc)
