22nd World Scout Jamboree

The 22nd World Scout Jamboree (Swedish: 22:a världsjamboreen) took place in Rinkaby, Kristianstad, Scania in southern Sweden from 27 July to 7 August 2011.

There is already an extensive water and power system in the ground, dimensioned with the World Scout Jamboree in mind.

[5] There are sandy beaches near the camp area with sand dunes formed by the wind, creating their own particular type of landscape.

Also included was a procession of flags (one from each country) and the official handover from Great Britain to Sweden, which involved Bear Grylls abseiling down from the roof of the stage (he had planned to paraglide in but had to change due to bad weather).

The closing ceremony took place on 6 August 2011, with live music from rock band Europe, playing songs including "The Final Countdown", as well as the Belgian singer Kate Ryan; halfway through her set a storm started with heavy rain.

Every participant was given the opportunity to see modern and well planned activities which delivered new and exciting experiences, ideas and knowledge for everyone at the World Scout Jamboree.

The Module Activities contributed to a full and positive jamboree experience for the Scouts from all different countries and cultures represented at the camp.

The Module Programme encouraged the young people to develop their skills and abilities in the following areas; The Module Programme also provided a wonderful opportunity for all of the Scouts to spend time with old friends and at the same time meet many new people and develop many new friendships.

Through these new friendships, networks, shared experiences and feelings of solidarity the World Scout Movement continued to develop and prosper.

Through this process the Scouts were encouraged and facilitated to challenge their expectations and assumptions and to develop new ways of thinking.
