Scouts wing it at Windsor

Wednesday, September 30th, 2009

Scouts from 40 countries Scouts from 40 countries around the world have descended on Windsor Great Park for an action packed week camping in the Queen’s back garden.
They have joined over 6000 other Scouts and Guides at
Wings International Jamboree held in Windsor, UK.
Making a difference is the theme of the international camp being held in Windsor Great Park and participants take part in local community projects to make a contribution back to their host community.
One of the key parts of the week’s programme is for participants to explore the Global Development Village where they can find out more about other countries, as well as what they can do to make their own a better place.
