20.000 scouts from 40 countries have gathered in
jiingijamborii camp outside of Kristianstad in Sweden.
They say every other second one scout arrived during the
weekend. A whole small village will be built by the scouts,
banks, shops, drugstores and a lot of tents.
They will probably look forward to a stay with rain, moscitoes,
bugs and too little sleep.
2500 people are working full time to make all this happen, they
all do it voluntary.
The camp is a way to celebrate the scout movements 100 year
birthday and also a warm up practise for the next event. In
2011 there will be 30000 scouts coming to Sweden.
