Essex international jamboree 2024

[lone haven]

@main belfry you going?

[main belfry]

Yuppa

From venture challenge straight to it all going to plan

[lone haven]

Ahh yeah ofc

Wait no I'm mixing stuff up

Anyways

I'd say if I go I'll have to join a contingent

And I've no idea how to do that

[main belfry]

Don't think there is any for it

You're gonna have to throw in with a group

And soon I'd say

Our venture leaders are working on getting pricing asap

For travel and stuff

[hollow anchor]

maybe he can hop on with your group lol

But yeah I'm hoping to attend aswell

[whole star]

Oh hey

I’m going

[sonic iron]

Hello fellow sub camp teammember

[whole star]

Didn’t know the sub camp names were secret. 🤫 😂

[whole star]

But hello!

[sonic iron]

Yeah I also just read that 😅

[whole star]

I guess the main question is, how do you know Dean then? 😂

[sonic iron]

I was subcamp staff with him in Korea

[whole star]

Ahhhh, very cool

[sonic iron]

How do you know him then?

[whole star]

He was my shift leader for the queens lying in state September 2022.

[ashen flame]

is essex like jamboree?

[lone haven]

Essex is the place where the jamboree is being held

[ashen flame]

ah lol ok

[main belfry]

@hollow anchor chnage of plans with challenge
It finishes Sunday around 1pm ish

The question is, for joining the jambo late would I be better off leaving early Monday morning or trying to make my way that evening?

[hollow anchor]

if it was me personally i'd just do whatever is cheaper ¯_(ツ)_/¯

[main belfry]

Also i think I can get you an Irish necker if you have anyone going to get it off me, we can get any ammount we want I think, €15 for em when they're being ordered

[hollow anchor]

ah uh... I am not planning on going EIJ anymore 😅

[main belfry]

Oof, fair enough lol

[hollow anchor]

unless kisc cant secure the visa I need, then I might still come 🤣

[lone haven]

I don’t think I’m going

And I’m annoyed

[compact cloak]

@main belfry Hey are you still going to the Jamboree? Just found this forum and I don't know anyone else going yet? :))

[main belfry]

Yuppa

I'll be headed straight there after challenge

What group are ya?

[compact cloak]

Im part of the Technology activity staff, so I'll be helping out there for my KSA!

Wbu??

[hollow anchor]

aye that's a grand idea for residential, nice

[main belfry]

Going over as a venture for 5th carlow, I'll be a bit late, our rovers are helping out as staff, can't remember what for tho

[compact cloak]

One of my leaders was doing it too, to do her residential, but she dropped out so going by myself lol

[compact cloak]

Oh wow, didn't realise that ventures were still a thing in Ireland! Explorers replaced ventures back in 2002 for England!! :))

[main belfry]

Strictly speaking ventures and rovers are separate, but for most things they can, our rovers throw in with us

Like any crew challenges, the rovers are a crew together

[lone haven]

lmao that’s before scouting Ireland even existed
