Story
I'm looking for sponsorship for my 5,500 mile bike ride from Cheltenham to South Korea (to see my progress in real time, please visit my mission page at https://www.myvirtualmission.com/missions/135863/virtual-cycle-to-south-korea). The funds I raise will enable me and other scouts to attend the World Scout Jamboree in 2023.
Since the age of 6, I have been a part of the scouting community going through beavers (6-8 yrs), cubs (8-10 yrs), and now in scouts (10-14 yrs).
My Scouts leader explained to me that there was going to be a Jamboree in 2023. I found the project exciting so I decided to sign up for the selection day. There were 30 - 40 Scouts selected from each county in England and I have luckily been chosen to take part in this fantastic experience.I now have the opportunity to join the 25th World Scout Jamboree 2023 which will take place in Saemangeum, South Korea. I would like to fundraise some money because not only will it allow the scouts in my area to go on this trip but it will also enable scouts from poorer countries to experience this as well. To find out more, visit the World Scout Jamboree's website ! I am aiming to cycle the distance from my home to the Jamboree 'virtually' by cycling 16km every day for the next 18 months! I will update this page with my progress every week. Thank you for your support.
