if you interested in knowing more about winter camping & jamboree, jeff is the one to answer you. jeff was the contingent leader leading the malaysia contingent of 10 scouts and leaders in year 2000, experiencing a -40 degree winter camp in quebec canada.


on average, a scout has a chance to participate in a jamboree is once in a life time as a youth participant. the different between as a youth participant & as a leader is that, youth participant can join in all the activities organised by the jamboree. whereby leader will often go there as a "babysitter" to babysit the scout, serve as staffs and will have selected activities for the leaders.

as for myself, i am eric chee, i have been participated in jamboree for long time since i am a scout & i am very lucky be able to participate in jamboree as youth participant for 3 times. the rest as a leader in various position and experience with the contingent or with the jamboree team.

i have been participated in jamboree as a youth, international service staff, jamboree staff, contingent staff as well as leading a contingent as contingent leader.

i have participated in the following jamboree :
  • 1st asia pacific jamborella dandenong, australia 1984
  • 2nd senior scout jamboree, cha-am thailand 1987
  • 16th world jamboree, australia 1987

Hmmm, I think that is a big different between "participating" and "visiting". Participating mean set to the ground and camp there, and participate in all the activities through out the whole camping duration. Visting in the other hand would mean a day trip, drop by to take some picture and etc...
