The UK Contingent are driving a large focus on inclusion for the South Korea World Scout Jamboree.

Essentially, the World Scout Jamboree is open for applications from all Scout members of the correct age, and these are encouraged from everybody.

To assist with financial inclusion, each county has been asked to review their financial inclusion process, and we have now done this in Hampshire.

Hampshire will be using a specific grant fund to assist participant applications via its grant committee. Grants of varying levels of up to 50% could be available for those most in need of assistance.

For more information please go here.

As last time, we will be running an alternative expedition to the WSJ, called Project 23. Project 23 will be offered to all participant applicants, that do not have a place in a WSJ unit. This could be anywhere from 50 to 200 people. There will be no additional selection process, it will be a straight accept a place or not.

For more information please go to the Noticeboard.

ou may find it surprising that Winchester, the county town of Hampshire, has no hospice. The nearest is either in Andover, Southampton or Basingstoke but this is about to change.

Winchester Rotary and Scout groups in the Winchester District are joining forces to raise money for a much-needed hospice in Winchester.
