		<description>I went to the jamboree on Tuesday with my mom and sisters and really enjoyed meeting all the people from all the different countries. Everyone was so friendly and stopped to speak to us and ask us what country we were from. I was shocked how good everyones English was. 

We met some Russians and some people from Thailand who gave us badges and a coin. They explained about their country and its climate changes and what they did as scouts.

We went in the food tents and tried food from Taiwan, Holland, Austria and Hungary. My favourite was the Hungarian chocolate bar.
We sat on the grass and watched a show where they were singing and dancing on a big stage.

My favourite part of the day was orienteering with the Ordnance Survey maps. We were given a page of photos of parts of objects hidden around the camp and had to find the code letter and the fastest party back won a prize. We came second and were only 2 minutes behind the winners.

The time went really quickly and there was so much more to do. We spent some time looking at the Global Development area where we learnt about poor children not being educated and we left messages on a board and signed our names on a brick. We  learnt how a special grass in Thailand helped improve their soil to grow crops.

We watched a team building challenge, (crate stacking) and saw tents explaining the different religions of the world but we didn&#039;t have time to go in them.

We went in the scout shop and bought some souvenirs and finally I had my photo taken with a wax work model of Lord Baden Powell.

It was a brilliant day and I wish I could have spent a few days there.</description>
