Arrival at the Jamboree by Samantha Murisa

After 5 hours of travelling, we finally arrived at the World Scout Jamboree!!! We were so excited and happy. Together with some of the Swedes who hosted us in Vanga, we off loaded our bags from the bus and entered Jamboree. The first impression we got was awesome. The bright tents stretching beyond the horizon, different people everywhere and the sight of over 35 000people smiling back at you, all wanting to know you. We carried our bags to our sub-camp, Winter. We got a little lost at first but after consulting a few people from the service team, we finally found our way to our campsite. To our surprise, no tents were put out for us but thanks to the service team we got some tents and pitched them ourselves. After that we went to get tables and benches for use and got boxes full of things we could use for cooking. We got together and sent the patrol leaders to the store to get some food for us. They got a light meal since everyone was tired and really wanted a good night sleep. After our supper we washed our plates and finally got a good night sleep, awaiting the excitement and fun of the 22nd World Scout Jamboree.
