Since then there has been thousands of hours of work by a growing team of great people going on in the background, building a solid foundation for the Jamboree. We’re planning everything from menus to the most efficient way to heat showers; from traffic plans to site layout to programme. We’re debating check-in methods; forecasting budgets and everything in between and out to the edges. I’m working with the best team I could hope for and we’ve received some great feedback as interest builds both around the country and internationally, with bookings coming in since March. We know you’re keen to hear from us as plans develop - you will be hearing and seeing a lot more from us over the coming months and we would like to thank you all for your support so far. If you’re a Scouter or Rover Scout with skills or ideas that will help make the Jamboree amazing for everyone then let us know. If you’re a Scout or Venture Scout looking to be involved in a piece of Scouting history then there is no better place to be than Stradbally in July 2013 together with friends from your Scout Group and new friends from around Ireland and the world. The Jamboree team are looking forward to next year, we hope you are too and we really look forward to seeing you there, Dee Butler, Camp Chief Stradbally 2013 The participants attended 3 opening ceremonies on Friday in Helsinki, Tampere and Rovaniemi.

The aim of this thesis is to illustrate the impact of partition on the border counties of Cavan and Monaghan in the period 1914 to 1926. Partition had a profound impact on this region in political, economic and social terms. People from all walks of life in the region were adversely affected by the partition of Ireland which was brought about by the Government of Ireland Act of December 1920. The period 1914-1920 which witnessed the imposition of partition was extremely fraught in Cavan and Monaghan as tensions mounted between nationalists and unionists over the regions future. This work examines these tensions and shows how sectarian animosities built up in the region.
