Welcome to the Scouts Canada World Jamboree 2011 Blog

About the World Jamboree and the Canadian Contingent 

Every four years tens of thousands of youth gather in a tented city for two weeks of activities and adventure. This year more than 38,000 Scouts, Scouters and volunteers from 150 countries will meet at Rinkaby Field in Sweden to meet new friends, get to know each other’s cultures and participate in exciting camp activities.

We are thrilled to be sending a Canadian contingent from Scouts Canada and the l’Association des Scouts du Canada which is 400 members strong!

As you can imagine bringing together this many Scouts into one event is an exciting and exhilarating experience. Our Canadian contingent, made up of Scouts from across the country, will showcase the best of Scouting in Canada and will bring back lessons and experiences that we can all learn from.

But why wait until they are back? Through the Scouts Canada World Jamboree 2011 Blog stay connected with our Canadian contingent and share with them all the new adventures, new languages and new cultures on a daily basis.

With these strategies for success, Scouts Canada is making itself known as the premiere youth serving organization in Canada and has grown in size each year since adopting the Action Plan in 2009.
