We have been given the extra place because of the large number of Scouts and Explores from Brunel that attended the selection day. This good turn out on the selection day is party due to the hard work Kathryn Challis put in, visiting so many Troops and Units and getting so many Post cards out there. Thank you Kathryn and the WSJ team for all your support so far.

We have now spoken to the 5th highest scoring Scout and his parents, from the selection day to assess his commitment and understanding of the event.

We are proud to now be adding Alex Watkins a Scout from the 151st Bristol to join Elenya, Jake, Emily and Laura as representing the Brunel Scout District on the 2011 World Scout Jamboree in Sweden. Well done all of you.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The Brunel Scout District has now confirmed four Scouts / Explorers selection for the 2011 WSJ.

We have met with the four top scoring Scouts and Explorers from the selection day and their parents. We have talked to them to check their understanding of what the event is all about and their commitment if they were selected.

All four of the top scoring Scouts and Explorers showed an excellent understanding of the event and proved to be totally committed if selected.

Because of this the Brunel Scout District are proud to support the top four scoring Scouts and Explores from the selection day.

We have a licensed late bar both evenings and will be showing all Football World Cup matches on large screens and will adjust event timings around England matches!

Nearly 2000 attend every year, so it is an ideal opportunity to meet new units and forge new friendships!
