Jamboree Fundraising

To attend the 19th World Jamboree it cost each Scout approximately £2.500. To reach this target both Caroline Collins (the other representative from Gillingham District) and I needed to do many fund raising events. These included:

• Fun days

• District dances

• Raffles

• Quiz sheets

• And much more!

Another way money was raised for the Kent Contingent and also other scouts from around the would reach the 19th World Jamboree was to become a "friend of the Jamboree". This cost the sum of £10, but it was well worth the amount because you receive newsletters about the Kent Contingent and the Jamboree itself, a post card from the Jamboree site in Chile and also a final report when we returned to the UK. If you belonged to a scout troop or group this was a very good way to inform them about the Jamboree, and also get them interested in the next World Jamboree in 2003/04. It is planned to have another "friend of the Jamboree" information pack when the 2003/04 Kent Contingent are formed

I would personally like to thank the following people and companies for their generous donations of money, and gifts for my raffles:
