Welcome to our world!
This is the official website for the Gloucestershire Scout Jamboree Unit, the group of 36 young Scouts and Explorer Scouts along with 4 adults will be attending the 2011 World Scout Jamboree in Sweden. We were never too impressed with the "Gloucestershire Scout Jamboree Unit" name, so after a lot of discussion and anguish, we are now:
THE GLOSSAGE ROLLERS
A mixture of Gloucester Old Spot Sausage, Cheese Rolling and general silliness that makes for a memorable name. We're still looking for a name for the cheesy scout pig - if you have any ideas, use the Contact Us page to let us know your suggestions.
So what's on the site? Short answer - have a look and see! Find out about the Gloucestershire Jamboree unit members on the Unit page,
see how you can get involved through Join-In-Jamboree, see the latest news and upcoming events using the menu on the left.
The site will build and grow over the period leading up to the Jamboree in 2011, but the key focus for the site is the same as the key focus for the Unit: building a great team and raising lots of money. We've already had a couple of gatherings, including a great Winter Camp in January and the young people from across Gloucestershire are getting to know each other and make friends.
Right now, the unit is focussing on plans and fundraising, but who knows where it will go from here?
