Promotional Clip
This is a fantastic short clip about the Jamboree and it really gives you the opportunity to see what it is all about!!
Talking to Others
Thanks to Social Media, it has been fairly easy for me to communicate with other IST members from, not only my Selection Days, but from all around the country. From talking briefly to different people, I can tell that everyone has been getting very excited about the adventure that awaits us.
On Twitter, I have been talking to someone from Birmingham about what we are going to do when we get into Japan along with what we are going to be doing on the run up to the event. We have spoken about doing some fundraising together (although the distance between us is great, we can do some events together like a £50 Wall etc.) and talking about meeting up when we arrive in Japan, whether it is at the Jamboree or in Tokyo, we are intending to meet up at least once.
On Facebook there seems to be a lot more communication going on between all of the various individuals. There has been a Group put together where we can ask different questions and get it answered by someone or we can start a group conversation, but this Group is mainly about making friends with new people before we go to the Jamboree. I have spoken to, and made, a number of new friends about going to Japan and any other preparations about the event. My main concern about the Jamboree was whether or not I was going to be accepted in the Group as I am going to be one of the Youngest, but I am glad that the older members of the IST have gladly welcomed me with open arms.
Hopefully the friendships that I have made before the Jamboree will be a brilliant opportunity for me to meet new people whilst I am over there, but I will have to just wait and see whether that is the case, but I am certain that it will be.

Fundraising Ideas
After finding out that I have been selected for the IST/JPT Team for the 23rd World Scout Jamboree, and the giddiness has subsided for the time being, I have had to sit down and get some ideas together about how I was going to fundraise £2,800 to be able to go and support the major event.
Sitting down and doodling on a piece of paper soon became a waterfall of ideas for fundraising with a load of different ideas. I have decided that I will pay for the deposit out of my own money (with the help of my Mum and Dad) and then I will complete some of the following, if not all of them, to get the remaining £2,300.
Below are my ideas for Fundraising. If anyone reading this are stuck for ideas, you are more than welcome to use any of them:

- Easyfundraising Accout:

- Car Boot Sale
- Coffee Morning
- Christmas Tree Sale
- Sponsored Events
- Jumble Sale
- Donations
- £50 Wall
- Camp Sale
- Raffle
- Spa Night
- Treasure Hunt
Above are just some of the ideas I have, but I do have a few more that will hopefully be used. The Contingent do put something in the Local Press for me about donations from different people and I am sure that my District will help to support me in the run-up to the Jamboree.
