What is a bulletin? The purpose of the World Scout Jamboree Bulletins is to provide National Scout Organisations with all the information they need, at the right time, to help prepare for the 22nd World Scout Jamboree.

22nd World Scout Jamboree Sweden 2011 www.worldscoutjamboree.se 1 Meetings, Nature and Solidarity Within the idea of Simply Scouting, there are three key concepts for the World Scout Jamboree in Sweden: meetings, nature and solidarity.

Meetings Solidarity The 22nd World Scout Jamboree is organised to Solidarity means being a part of the global Scout encourage meetings: meetings across cultures, cha- Movement. At the Jamboree, we all share values and racters, interests, religions, countries, continents and common goals: the development of young people for more. Everything at the Jamboree will take this into life. consideration; from module activities to subcamp life, from small camp fires to huge arena events. As well Solidarity means recognising connections between as the programme, the actual Jamboree site will be peoples and how dependent we are on each other.

Outdoor life is very accessible in Sweden of any personal characteristics or background. These and it is an important part of Swedish culture. For issues will also be explored in many of the Jamboree Swedish Scouting, the challenge of living outdoors activities. with nature is also a tool in the Scout method. Clo- seness to nature also reveals the vulnerability of our environment. Wherever possible across the Jamboree, we will demonstrate sustainable environmental prac- tice. The programme will especially focus on giving young people tools to take action for the environment.

2 22nd World Scout Jamboree Sweden 2011 www.worldscoutjamboree.se The Jamboree Programme The Jamboree programme encompasses everything at the World Scout Jamboree. The Scouts will experience the 22nd World Scout Jamboree through five areas: subcamp life, module activities, common areas, arena events and Camp in Camp.

Subcamp Life Subcamps are the homes of the Scouts at the Jamboree. This is where most of the every- day camp life takes place; sleeping, cooking, cleaning etc. At the World Scout Jamboree, Scouts will have the tools to create their own home and plenty of time for subcamp life. The close environment of a subcamp makes it easier to get to know new friends from other countries and to build genuine understanding of each other. At the 22nd World Scout Jam- boree all subcamps will have their own place to “hang around” with a small café, campfire circle, unscheduled activities, etc. Subcamp life makes it possible for each Scout to influ- ence and create his or her own Jamboree experience.

Module Activities The module activities aim to give the Scouts knowledge and tools relevant to the needs of Meetings, Nature and Solidarity young people in the world today. Here, National Scout Organisations, non-governmental organisations and others gather their expertise to make fun, educational and challenging activities. The module activities will include programme focusing on sharing of cultures, the envi- ronment, sustainable development, social engagement, global development issues, respect for oneself and for others, health, community development, peace and much more. The activities will use the patrol as an important entity and aim at being very active.

Common Areas Everything outside the subcamps and scheduled activity areas are Common Areas; com- mon to share for everyone at the Jamboree. Common Areas are designed to facilitate meetings and there will be, for example, cafés, unscheduled activities, exhibitions and also specific space for spiritual programme and religious practise.

Arena Events At the 22nd World Scout Jamboree there will be three big arena events: the Opening Ceremony, a major event in the middle of the Jamboree, and the Closing Ceremony. These are events where the audience members are not merely spectators but play an important interactive part.

Camp in Camp For a few days, 100-200 Scouts will take part in a smaller camp away from the main camp area. This “Camp in Camp” will give each and every one of the participating Scouts a chance to experience nature and small scale camping, Swedish style. This will be an opp- ortunity for getting to know a smaller group of new friends.
