Have I Been Selected?

Well the 2 weeks are up and this is the day we were told that we would be informed whether or not we have been selected for the Jamboree IST Team.  All day, I have been jumping at my phone everytime that it buzzed, but I was always disappointed when I found out it was an email from someone unimportant (like my Dad or Twitter).  However, at 15:37, I recieved the following email from the IST Communications Team:

"Dear all,  

Thank you for attending the Regional Selection event that took place over the weekend of the 1st and 2nd February. 

The Regional Co-ordinators have returned their results and it is with great pleasure that we would like to offer you a place to attend the World Scout Jamboree in Japan as a member of the IST/JPT.  

You will be emailed early next week with the registration link in order to pay your £500 deposit.This email will also confirm whether you will be a member of IST or JPT. Please note the deadline for this is the 28^th February. If however, you decide decline your place, please contact us, by return email by no later than Monday 24th February so we can allocate your place to a person on the reserve list.  

The first IST newsletter will be sent out in March containing information on travel, key dates and next steps for IST and JPT.  

It was fantastic to meet so many of you at the selection events around the UK and we look forward to seeing you again in the summer at Walesby."

Well, it was official...

I AM GOING TO JAPAN

So long as I can pay my deposit!!!

Now all I have to do is get some fundraising organised and I am away!!
