There have been some questions regarding the Avon County Jamboree. We will try to answer as many as we can. If you can’t find the information you need just get in touch with us.

One of the questions was ‘What is a Jamboree?
The answer: In Scouting, a jamboree is a large gathering of Scouts who rally at a regional, national or international level. And as the name of this particular jamboree suggests, it is a county event.

So when will the Avon Jamboree take place?
The Avon County Jamboree is taking place from 27th to 30th May 2016 at the Westerleigh Showgrounds.

What activities will there be?
Well, there will plenty of activities on offer, ranging from grass sledging to bungee runs, from Quidditch to archery, and there will even be the opportunity to play African drums. Just go and have a look on the Avon Jamboree website to see what is all on offer.

Who is doing all the cooking?
This will be done by a catering company who are specialised in catering for large groups. If you want to find out more, there is a sample menu available on the Avon Jamboree website.

Where are you going to sleep?
We will be camping in tents in the Kingswood subcamp.
