Thank you for a memorable and fun World Jamboree. This was my first jamboree ever, and even though I never got to experience a full jamboree, the time I did have at the site was great. I got to talk to many different people from many different places. I was able to make friends and connections, and despite the challenges, I was still able to have fun. If I could come back, I would. Thank you for an awesome Jamboree.

I spent hours talking with scouts from all over the world about scouting in their countries,their cultures,and what they enjoy doing.
I also went shooting and did the canopy tour early in the morning which was fun and spent a lot of time trading neckerchiefs. I will never forget these past 12 days at the World Scout Jamboree

USA Troop 106

I am very glad I was able to take part in the 25th World Scout Jamboree. It was an experience unlike one I have ever had the pleasure of enjoying. It’s incredible to meet so many people from other places in the world that share a love of scouting. I am exceptionally grateful for the efforts of the IST and adult leaders as well as the US military that made the jamboree successful and helped make it worthwhile.

Aiden S.

As this is my first ever Jamboree, I believe that this is one of my favorite experiences in scouting so far. Trading and meeting people was so fun because not everyone is allowed this opportunity. This event wouldn’t have happened without the help of the IST and our adults so i’m very thankful for that. I hope that most people had attained a good experience with this jamboree and I wish the best for the fellow scouts of the world.
