World Scout Jamboree - Big Picture


So many creative writings, fantastic thoughts, memorable comments about the jamboree, but still the big picture left where we reflect, express about the jamboree what we like, what wasn't good

After so many meetings in the Kharadar J.k, Sindh Boy Scouts Headquarter and briefing by many experts, 32 people based Sindh contingent was ready to participate in the 22nd World Scout Jambroee which would held in the Rinkby, Kristianstad Sweden.

The last meeting was held in the Sindh Boy Scouts Headquarter new Auditorium, on the day of Departure of the contingent, My some friends and I were on the next day.

On the departure we reached the Airport at 2:30 AM where we found some other scouts like us waiting for the World scout Jamboree,
at Jinnah International Airport, Pakistan Christian Scouts, Ismaili District Boy Scouts, Sindh Boy Scouts all were there for the jamboree, we were going through the gulf Air Via Bahrain while others will reach there directly via Lahore
We all gathered and go into the lobby where our documents were checked. Our Baggage was passed and we gone for consecutive 3 Full Proof Security checks with such a great support by the natives, we reached in the waiting lounge where we have to wait for the Airbus to the Manama, Bahrain.
in the Bahrain there was a transit stay for 18 hours for which the Gulf Air has accompanied us a 4-Star Hotel Al-Safir
after the long long stay, now it was time to Again do the journey. Now it was the Boeing who was flying to Kobenhavn/Copenhagen Denmark. Our Contingent friends were in Denmark now to recieve us. We reached the Copenhagen Airport but was unable to see anyone of them. now with our leader or some without managed to go for sweden with the transport of the World Scout Jamboree Members. We stood in the long line, and when we were near to our turn, the registrar told that its only for IST member participants have to wait..
now what to do was the most toughest question
helpless in a new world, don't know the streets don't know the people don't know anybody....

but someone was there to know us, help us support us... Scout Brothers, Scout Movement..
World Scout Jamboree Team led us to the Home Hospitality where we've to live until the participants registration is on...
there we managed to contact our rest of the contingent, who came to us and we spend the night with them

Now it was the jamboree for which the 40,060 Scouts from 139 Countries came to one place under one theme "Simply Scouting"

Four Towns

Summer
Winter
Autumn
Spring

The
participants from all over the world was divided into 3 Towns - i.e. Summer, Winter and Autumn while the town spring was for the IST's

As the three town was for participants so to distinguish further it was divided into the Sub-Camps which was based on the name of the cities of Sweden - as our was Kivik, some had Stockholm, some had Kristianstad and many more...
with that our camp has given a number like our was 2532 - from which we were identified.
The jamboree had a food shop, internet cafes telephone cafes jamboree shop, laundry, and much much more.. as like the whole city was rebuilt in a small area where diversified population interacted.
There were some module as well as some spontaneous activities...
People, Global Development Village, Quest, Earth,Camp in Camp and, Dreams were the module ones,
while the Circus, Ice Skating, Ice climbing, Brazilian Badminton, and much much more even i don't remember their names..
There's much enough to write on a single event but precisely It was such a great ideas to bring those activities for us to groom our self, develop the youth help them encourage them and support them.

I simply wished if those days would never end... !! but its the part of life.. many people meets many forgets but the Life Goes On and as the B.P Said
Leave Nothing But Thanks... so a big Thank You for those who supported us as their child helped us, and shown us a new dimension to life.. !! :)

Tack ;)
Thank You
Gracias
