From Mongolia’s Jamboree valley, the nomadic adventure lives on

Before a crowd of more than 5,000 Scouts from 30 countries attending the 31st APR Scout Jamboree, WOSM Secretary General Ahmad Alhendawi, addressed the organisers and participants through a video message saying “the Jamboree is a time to fully appreciate the gifts of Scouting which are the gifts of nature, diversity and learning.” 

Asia-Pacific Chairman Paul Parkinson, in his message, said that participants of the Jamboree are privileged people who stand in the land rich in history.  It may be time to say goodbye to five days of adventure – leaving behind Mongolia’s nomadic life and the breathtaking  Jamboree valley – but the experience lives on with great learning and new encounters.
