"Take Wing to the World"
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.
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)
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.
Here are the action highlights from the Nagano Camp Olympics.

Our final day at Nagano saw our Camp Olympics.
Happy Birthday to Tom F (17)
These will be the last messages that we can send and receive, before we arrive back in the UK. We leave the site in the early hours on Monday, and simply won’t have time on Tuesday and Wednesday with two very busy days in Disneyland and Tokyo.

Some more messages have been added to the Water Troop page.

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.

hey,today we climbed mount fuji. we climbed for about 3 hours and then we ran down and it only took us about 20 minuites. we got a video of it and at the end you see me falling over. when i fell over i slid about 10 meters because we were running so quick. we only have one day left in the jamboree now and then we are of to tokyo. i have taken lts of pictures but i have run out of batteries now ,so i am going to buy some on the way to tokyo so i can get pictures of tokyo:).
