Story
Thank you for reading my story.... I am a 13 year old having to raise £3895 to fund my trip to South Korea. So here's my story of why I wanted to go and what I had to do to be lucky enough to be picked.
I wanted to apply for the 25th World Scout Jamboree in South Korea as you have to be between the age of 14 and 18 when it takes place, this is when you are an Explorer Scout. World jamborees happen every 4 years so you only get the chance to take part once in your scouting life as a participant. I thought hard about it and decided that I had to try if I did not I would have thought I could be there when it happens in 2023 and regretted not applying.
To apply, I had to write why I wanted to be considered, I was then invited to the selection weekend and we then had to complete 9 different activities including map skills, team work, pioneering/knot work, a quiz on scouting including questions on the last jamboree and the one we were applying for in South Korea. These were all to see how we worked with new people and how we would cope in different situations. I then had to wait nearly a week to find out if I had been selected, I tried to not think about it but it was so hard. When I found out I had been lucky enough to get one of the 54 places I couldn't believe I had done it I couldn't speak!!
I hope to meet lots of scouts from all over the world who like me want to experience a camp with about 40,000 people there. I want to learn about other cultures and food and try them. I probably will never get the chance to go there again so I want to take part and experience as much as I can while there. When I come back I would like to visit other groups in my district to tell them about this will help them achieve their badges in scouting and to encourage others to apply when its their chance. If I can do it anyone can.
Thanks Imogen

2 years agoAs part of Imogen's fundraising for Korea next year she is taking part in a sponsored climbing event in Cambridge today (2/11/22) at the Clip n Climb centre. With other members of her contingent, they will be attempting to climb the combined distance of 1950m, equivalent to the height of Mount Hallasan, the highest mountain in South Korea. They will need to climb the walls at Clip n Climb 325 times to achieve this.
