AJ2019 – 25th Australian Jamboree;
Tailem Bend – Murraylands, SA
|
The Australian Jamboree is a massive event that is on every 3 years.
The next Jamboree, AJ2019 is hosted by South Australia at The Bend Motorsport Park in Tailem Bend, South Australia from 4 to 13 January 2019. AJ2019 will be your chance to experience the best of Scouting in one place over 10 action-packed days. Camping as a community of Scouts from across Australia and the World, you will experience everything from participation in stadium shows to adventurous activities. Jamborees are a lot of fun, but also an immersion experience, building self confidence and developing independence, responsibility, and self-reliance in the Scouts who attend. A Jamboree provides a safe, structured environment for Scouts to challenge themselves to try new adventures, develop social skills outside their normal peer groups and gain new skills working together over 10 days. Scouts have even been known to clean their rooms without being asked, cook the family dinner and do their own clothes washing following return from a Jamboree. |
You’ll be camping as part of a Troop with about 6 patrols (so 36 Scouts) and 4 leaders including you friends from Dural Troop as well. The Jamboree site is only part of the story, there’s also a range of activities
which are run offsite. Each day approximately 4,000 Scouts will enjoy activities off-site in places that include Adelaide city and the River Torrens, Port Adelaide and the Murraylands and Coorong.
