Up in our heads, 
Deep in our hearts,
Down in our feet, 
We've got that Scouting spirit, 
All over us,
All over us to stay.… https://t.co/fgOKKW1suR

What a fantastic day in Vancouver and British Columbia. We hiked up to Quarry Rock for this view, visited Vancouver Scout HQ and had a beach BBQ with kayaking, volleyball and swimming in the sea. 10/10 for our hosts 180th PCC Rovers.

Two participants setting up shop. A big part of any Jamboree is swapping memorabilia, from badges & scarves to bags & shirts. This means making friends, meeting Scouts from other nations and creating a collection of Jamboree memories.

Last night the South London Scouts Unit split in half, with 20 visiting our Jamboree Buddy Troop, USA Unit 116. We then hosted 20 USA Scouts on our campsite. New friendships struck and a great evening ending in an exchange of gifts.
