22^nd World Scout Jamboree 2011

Four Thomian scouts represented Sri Lanka at the recently concluded World Scout Jamboree from our school. This was held in the deep southern part of Sweden, in the city called Rinkaby from the 27^th of July to the 07^th of August 2011.

It was a great experience for all the scouts as this was an opportunity to meet people and interact with them from around the world. The Sri Lankan contingent which travelled comprised of 122 members (Including Instructors) being the 3^rd highest number of participants in the Asia Pacific region. They first travelled to Frankfurt, from where they travelled to Sweden in a coach passing Denmark. The contingent leader was Mr. Janaprith Fernando.

At the Jamboree there were various items to make bonds with the fellow scouts and guides from other countries. One such event was the Cultural Day where each country showcased there diverse cultures in the form of food, dances, music etc. The photo was a photo which was taken on this occasion.

• Senior scouts:

S.C. Gajanayaka
