Scouts from nearly every country and territory gathered for the 22nd World Scout Jamboree in Rinkaby, Sweden. Some 4,000 came from the UK and joined 34,000 others for two weeks of activities, fun and making new friends in the most truly international event on the planet.
In addition to the Jamboree itself, all UK participants spent two to three days enjoying wonderful Copenhagen, and between three and four days after the Jamboree staying with families spread across 18 different European countries.
