Scout Ollie Chosen for South Korea Jamboree

Fourth Year student Ollie Williams has been selected to represent West Sussex in the next World Scout Jamboree in South Korea. This is an incredibly exciting and well-deserved opportunity to experience being a part of the global scouting community; more than 40,000 Scouts from 150 different countries will be participating in the Jamboree in the Summer of 2023. 

During the course of the Jamboree, Scouts will develop leadership and life skills through activities designed to challenge participants to learn about global issues and how to become active citizens. 

Young people will be engaged in learning about the Sustainable Development Goals and taking action for peace and sustainable development in their home communities. The programme will also offer various adventure activities, taking advantage of the local environment of mountains, rivers and seas to connect with and discover nature. The event will also engage participants in cross-cultural exchange to experience the best of Korean culture and tradition from K-pop music to Bibimbap food to the Hangul alphabet, and much more. 

Congratulations to Ollie on this wonderful achievement and we wish him luck for his fundraising challenge over the next 18 months. We look forward to reporting further on his Scouting adventures!
