Jamboree Site “Great” says IST
Tuesday marked the arrival of the majority of the International service team yesterday, hundreds of adults from across the globe arrived on Hylands Park every hour of the day and made the same initiation of the walk from the couch stops near Gate 5 to the Island subcamp, a good 20-30 minute walk away.
“It’s been amazing being so many different nationalities all here with the common purpose of helping the participants have one of the biggest adventure of their lives”
The response seems to be quite consistent from everyone, the sheer size of this mostly empty campsite with the Hub of the adult Island hub buzzing all hours of the day. Even at 2am there are kitchen staff working away to feed the security and other teams that have to be working for everyone else even when they’re not awake.
If the site is this overwhelming and only 8000 people are here I can imagine that with the other 4 hubs, 16 sub-camps and 9 activity zones all lively with participants there will be a point where everyone realises this truly is the biggest event in the UK, and indeed one of the largest of a organization in the world!
