Club Speaker Lilly Waite-Wright
My experiences in South Korea at the World Scout Jamboree.
The World Scout Jamboree is a Scouting jamboree of the World Organization of the Scout Movement, typically attended by several tens of thousands of Scouts from around the world, aged 14 to 17.

Lilly pictured with acting President Mary.


Lilly giving her presentation.
"On Monday 25th Sept Lilly gave a powerpoint presentation about her attendance, aged 16, at the 25th World Scout Jamboree held in South Korea in 2023.
eThis was an interesting and informative account of her experiences. It included the process of selection, preparation and the activities of the Jamboree itself. Lilly also explained the challenges and complications of her enforced longer stay in Soel.
The presentation was delivered in an entertaining way and enjoyed by all."
(Peter Waite-Wright)
Lilly took questions from the Rotarians and was thanked by acting President Mary for her talk.
