The Daily Bean – 07Jan
Opening Ceremony
The first night of a Jamboree is always a huge celebration. Tonight we saw the Arena filled with Scouts of all ages, from across Australia and from countries including United Kingdom, Romania, Timor Leste, Norway, Malaysia, Sweden and Canada. We heard from the Governor and Chief Scout of Queensland, and we saw fireworks. Lots of them.

AJ2025 Horoscopes
Aries (21/03-20/04) – You’ll develop an unhealthy obsession with badge swapping. Do not be concerned because everyone at Jamboree will develop the same obsession. The trick is to save some of your good swap badges until you track down the harder-to-find badges. Don’t forget to stay hydrated during the day! Taurus (21/04-21/05) – You’ll meet a Scout from overseas and start thinking about how to save enough money to go to the World Scout Jamboree in Poland in 2027. Make sure you swap contact details before the end of AJ2025. Don’t forget to thank your Unit Leaders for being awesome! Gemini (22/05-21/06) – You see what happens if you have a birthday during Jamboree and you consider changing your date of birth to 10th or 12th or 14th January. Instead, you may just spend your time at Jamboree looking for your ‘twin’ who shares your real date of birth. Don’t forget to wear sunscreen every day! |
