Guest Blog – Japan

This is Kohei Kise from 4th Suita Scout Group. I visited the Contingent Core Team at 15th Nippon Jamboree and finally met with Mr.King and his outstanding staff. I am looking forward to join you in Chiba after the Jamboree. 6 members of our Scout Group will stay with you until your departure.

Almost Done

We start our journey home in less than 2hrs.

The final photos from our time in Chiba and Tokyo have been uploaded to the site.

Stay tuned over the next couple of weeks, as we add videos and yet more photos.

Happy Birthday to George J (17) and Ryan S (17)

Website Updates

Keep checking the photo galleries as new photos are being added all the time. We’ve added many more photos to the early galleries, as we’ve received photos from Leaders and Explorers, in addition to photos taken by the Media Team.

We’ve now started to add the Jamboree photos, and again, these galleries will continue to be added to over the course of the week.

Also stay tuned for more videos. There is plenty of footage to come from the Jamboree, and hopefully some of that will get edited and uploaded before the end of our trip.

The website will continue to be updated for a couple of weeks after the conclusion of the trip, with videos and photos.

Sorry I haven’t updated the blog for a while, I didn’t have the time (or effort) to get to the laptop.
Today we went up Mt. Fuji but I had to stop some way up because my blood pressure issue was going a bit crazy.
During home-stay temperatures reached around 42 degrees so that was hell but I am used to the weather now

lots of love, Fraggle.
