After having a charity auction to sell some key momentos from our 2 year journey as a unit we managed to raise about £650💰for @HannahsAppeal -a charity that allows family’s with terminally ill children to go on amazing holidays, a little bit like the trip we went on this year ☺️

What an amazing journey, 2 years has flown by, in that time we’ve watched all our young people become almost adults. The journey may be over but the legacy will live on forever through all the work out young people plan on doing to give back to @UKScouting #skillsforlife

It’s bitter sweet leaving jamboree, we never want to end the experience but we also really want a hot shower and our own bed! Two 12 hour plus coaches in the last 72 hours and were ready for a proper sleep 😴#UK24WSJ

Had a great afternoon at the Baseball, ⚾️ it seemed like a slightly more complicated game of rounders played on a bigger field? We had fun and even sang our national anthem with the other 4,000 brits in the stadium 🇺🇸🇬🇧#UK24WSJ

[Hampshire Aces @WSJunit56]

Off to the baseball match! Having most of us never seen the game, it will be a great cultural experience for us!!
