The 25th World Scout Jamboree takes place in July 2023 and I have been very fortunate to be awarded a place at this event. This opportunity will provide enormous benefit in my continuous development and provide a great chance to get together with other people from the scouting community from around the world to share experiences within a fantastic environment.
I consider to be very lucky and extremely privileged to be given this opening and I hope to make new friends within the Hereford and Worcester district on this journey. The trip will be both fulfilling, rewarding, and I trust it, will help me become more independent while helping me grow in confidence as I get older. It will help me to challenge myself, demonstrate leadership skills and support in improving my communication with others.
I have been informed that the cost for each person to attend the trip requires approximately £4,000.00 that can be raised through several different fund-raising activities that can include grants, donations, earnings etc. but this needs to be raised in advance of the planned trip.
I do recognise that this is a considerable amount of money so I will be planning to break this down and pull together a plan as to how this is to be raised but I would also like to consider raising funds to also support a charity organisation as part of the fund-raising activities and would like to include Dementia UK as part of the collection after the death of my close neighbour who suffered with Dementia in her later years.
