The Damhsa Tobann.

Jamboree Nights

Sitting at the back of An Crann, The Irish House, listening to
"Standing Room Only", the house band. They're great at getting the
crowd going.

Elsewhere the other foodhouses are thronging, especially England,
Czech Republic & Netherlands. The Dutch play eurohouse. And the
English steal our schpuds.

Up at 7am tomorrow for Culture Day...

Freedom...

Second day off since I got here. Have training to do from 14.30 for my special job tomorrow. There's a cultural day and we on the Modular Activities Team who would be off now have special jobs for the day.

Working in People's been lots of fun, every day before we leave we have a mini concert which some of the participants hang around for.

I've become an Ambassador for Peace having signed up loads of people for the Messengers of Peace program.

Received my Gold IST Experience Badge on Monday, having attended 3 bases, Creative Trash, Ceremonies and Communicating without words, one of them with my IST International Patrol.


Might visit Quest today, to see what all of the fuss is about.

There's a Damhsa Tobann later on... say nothing till you here more.

Greetings from Sweden

I'm wrecked.

Over worked.

Over tired.

Great time had by all.



Arrived Monday afternoon, through Copenhagen airport in 40 mins, 2 hour bus ride to edge of Jamboree site, checked in in 20 mins, 5 min bus ride to main site 10 min necker/apparel collection, 20 tent collection, 10 minute site discovery, 20 minute tent pitching. Found bike. Mission accomplished.


Met my international patrol on Tuesday, The Ninjas, One Belgian, one Swiss, one Canandian, one Frenchie and a Briton. Started first part of IST Experience badge withj them and got it.

Work induction in the afternoon. We're People People, and starting today we play Rafa Rafa, in the City Core part of the People base, one of the 6 main Modular activities at the Jamboree. As a modular activity it is one which every participant is scheduled to take part in by the end of the camp. We will provide youth programme to c. 150 participants each per day. Which is a lot.

Outside of work hours I've been badge swapping, necker swapping, pin swapping and hanging out at the Irish house/Irish Contingent tent and helping get Ist Troops from bus stops to the Irish House from 1am-4am on two arrival days.

Also, bit o' rain over the past few days, all going a bit Punchestown...

Fundraising idea

There's money to be made from bag-packing in Dublin airport.

Lots of people frantically redistributing contents amongst each other.

One problem of course would be "Did you pack this bag yourself?" :/

It's 3am and I'm in Dublin airport.

There are 20 scout types in red uniforms & yellow neckers sleeping by
Starbucks.
Must investigate...
