Well I can't believe im actually going! I had decided not to go and had missed the closing date for applications but when Brian heard this he was really disappointed. He had been hoping to have one person from our troop going to represent us. I felt bad that I had let him down and so I decided to go. Luckily they accepted my late application and so here I am.
Last weekend we had out first meeting of the Beith troop, which is the troop I've been put into for the Jamboree. It means Birch in Irish. Every troop has been given a tree in Irish and is made up of 36 scouts and 4 leaders.
Our troop has mostly girls and a few guys from all over, mostly Dublin but a few from Wicklow and Donegal too!
Next weekend is our first training weekend, in Larch hill. It'll give me a chance to get to know people and hopefully make friends as I'm pretty scared being on my own.
I'd just like to say now that the fact that I'm able to go is mostly down to the fantastic scout troop I'm in. They have supported me so much in everything and are helping in paying and fundraising a large amount of the camp fee. Without them I wouldn't be going and in fact I don't think I'd be who I am today! They've given me everything I am..
