Centenary Jamboree Book and DVD

A fantastic reminder of our Centenary Year, this official publication charts the successful World Scout Jamboree held at Hylands Park in 2007. Although Scouts from Chapelhall did not attend it gives a flavour of how young people from all over the world can come together and overcome many barriers, and what Scouts can expect when they attend Kandersteg in the summer of 2008.
