I went to the World Scout Jamboree 2007 in England and I wanted to say that I loved it and would like to go back to the next one. The centenary was amazing. I wish I was able to go to Brownsea Island. Thanks for being with the scouts and helped everything happen. I have great memories from scouting.

Jambo - Hello! I was a troop leader at the 21st World Scout Jamboree. USA Troop 211. The Jamboree was an unforgettable experience. This has been the one of the highlights of my 30 years in Scouting (from age 7). Nearly 40,000 Scouts and leaders from around the world, living in peace and friendship for 12 days! I hope the participants can use this experience to serve as an example to their communities.
