Join in Jamboree Programs Page 2 Courtesy ACT Scouts Have you ever heard of a World Jamboree? It is when Scouts from all over the world get together for a camp. There are thousands of Scouts camping in thousands of tents and all of the Scouts get to meet lots of other Scouts and have lots of fun. This year there will be a World Jamboree in Sweden. There will be Scouts from Australia, Scouts from England, Scouts from Thailand Scouts from the US and Scouts from lots and lots different countries. They are expecting around 38,000 people, that will include Scouts and leaders and people running activities and they will have to camp in tents at the World Jamboree. The Scouts from Sweden will be running lots of exciting activities for the Scouts from England, Thailand, Brazil, Australia and all the other countries. The theme of this World Jamboree is Simply Scouting. They will just have fun being Scouts. They will focus on three things. The first is meetings. The Scouts from Thailand will meet Scouts from the USA, the Scouts from Australia will meet Scouts from England. In fact all the Scouts will meet Scouts from lots of different countries all over the world and learn lots of things about lots of different countries and cultures. The second thing is that all the Scouts will enjoy the natural environment of Sweden. The Scouts will be able to see all the birds and trees that they have there. The third thing is solidarity. This means that Scouts from all over the world stick together and help each other. Scouts from England help Scouts from Papua New Guinea, Scouts from Thailand help Scouts from Cambodia, Scouts from Australia help Scouts from Indonesia and Scouts from Sweden help Scouts from Russia. When you are a Scout you can go to an Australian Jamboree when you are between 10 and a half and 13 years old. But you have to be between 14 and 18 years old to go to a World Jamboree. The next one is in Japan in 2015 but you still won’t be old enough yet, but by 2020 you will be old enough. So who knows you might be able to go to a World Jamboree then. Game from England: Choose one of the following which I found at http://www.escouts.org.uk/forum/showthread.php?t=6709 The following games were provided by tomahawk aka "Old Battle Axe". These all sounded good to me. Shark Attack 1: Like musical chairs, but using hoops on the ground...the beavers "swim" around the islands (hoops) and then you shout shark attack, and they have to get into a hoop. But you keep removing a hoop after every go until there are only 2 left and they all have to hold each other in the hoop! Shark Attack 2: A parachute game. All Beavers hold the parachute sitting in a circle with legs straight out (under the chute). One Beaver is the shark. Make the chute/sea very rough....and the shark attacks by trying to drag one of the beavers under the chute. But!!!! You should also have 2 life guards, who have to grab the victim and stop him going under. The victim has to issue a blood curdling scream as he is attacked to let the lifeguards know he is being attacked! Oh hours and hours of fun with this one!! Knights and Warriors (Tomahawk’s fav): (You could make the knights St George to highlight the English connection) Have two equal teams, lined up facing each other. Name one Knight and the other Warriors. Have the knights take 2 big steps forwards. Then warriors take 1 ballerina step/sumo wrestler step/hop/jump/etc. ‐ use your imagination. Alternate them and at some point shout: “Knights....attack!” The knights have to try and capture the fleeing warriors. Again, huge fun and can go on for some time. Dead ants..... Two "taggers" with some form of identifier (fluorescent jacket or similar is what we use!) and they tag someone, who then has to lie on the ground and put their arms and legs in the air. The remaining untagged people have to try and pick up the dead ant and carry him/her back to the safe zone. The object is to keep away from the taggers. I think?. Join in Jamboree Programs Page 3 Courtesy ACT Scouts Spiders web: All leaders stand with legs and arms stretched out in an X shape. Kids have to get past you without being tagged. If they get tagged, they also have to stand in an X position. They can be released by another beaver going through their legs. Game about Thailand: In Thailand a form of transport is the tuk‐tuk. Equipment: Hoops, one per team of Joey Scouts. Instructions: Put the Joey Scouts into teams of 3 or 4.
