FOUR Scouts from Bracknell have arrived in South Korea for the 25th World Scout Jamboree, where they will join 40,000 others.

Scouts from nearly every country come together once every four years to promote unity, community and togetherness.

This year the event will be hosted in Gunsan-si, South Korea, from August 1 to 12.

Zebi Strong, aged 14 from Bracknell said: “I have never flown further than Europe so this is a super exciting day for me. I can’t wait to meet all the other Scouts from almost every nation on Earth. I’m most excited about sharing different cultures and trying new things”.

The theme of this year’s Jamboree is to ‘draw your dream’, representing a willingness to accept young people's ideas and opinions.

Nate Parker, aged 16, from Bracknell said “I can’t believe the trip is finally here! I’ve been waiting for so long that it feels surreal. I’m beyond excited to explore Seoul, learn about new cultures and make friends. One of the things I’m most looking forward to is the K-pop concern and air show”.

Chief Scout, Bear Grylls has said he is “proud to be a part of a movement that puts young people first”.
