District Centenary Camp and World Jamboree
Introduction
Over the week from Sunday 28 July to Saturday 5 August 2007, Richmond upon Thames District Scouts held a Centenary Camp, to celebrate the 100th anniversary of the founding of Scouting by Robert Baden Powell.
The camp was held at Phasels Wood scout camp and activity centre, near to Hemel Hempstead in Hertfordshire.
The highlight of the week was a trip to the Scout World Jamboree, which was held at Hylands Park, Essex. This was the first time that the World Jamboree, attended by some 30,000 scouts from virtually every country of the world, had been held in the UK for 50 years.
