Geocache Description:

scouts
With geocaching quite big in scouting, this cache was popular during the event it was creative for, and makes an ideal location to leave your trackables in to get them moved on, far and wide.

Essex International Jamboree - 26th July to 2nd August 2008

The largest ever UK Scout and Guide camping event in 2008 took place a few 100mtrs from this cache. It provided the opportunity for all Essex Scouts and Guides to take part in their own locally organised Jamboree.

Half of the 10,000 participants were from Essex, the other half came from across the UK, and over 30 countries around the world. Participants camped for seven nights, and had the opportunity to take part in over 100 different adventurous activities, over the course of five days.

The young people gained awareness about protecting their environment through community projects, such as doing conservation work, undertaking recycling, and understanding major ethical issues in order to make the world a better place. The event was be supported by over 2,000 adult Scout and Guide volunteers.

This is a regular clip box in a camo bag, with loads of swaps. It is quite close to an entrance so please ensure it is well covered when you leave. .

The Jamboree is over now for 2008 but it will be repeated all over again in the following years.
