We are seeking to appoint leaders and assistant leaders to be in charge of the Hertfordshire Units to the 22nd World Scout Jamboree in Sweden during the summer of 2011.  The Jamboree will be held on the fields of Rinkaby, not far from the town of Kristianstad, in the province of Skåne, southern Sweden.  The Jamboree Theme is Simply Scouting.
The World Scout Jamboree is a place for Scouting in all its variety, from all across the world and presents an exceptional programme, with a wide range of activities and opportunities for all.
The World Scout Jamboree focuses on implementing the Scout method. The values and processes that make Scouting what it is can be experienced and considered together.

The Jamboree Unit Leader role involves managing the training of a group of 36 young people which may include 12 year old Scouts at the time of the selection process, and 17 year old Explorer Scouts when the Jamboree takes place.  In the past, successful Leaders have been those capable of responding to the changing needs of such a wide age range and in particular capable of an increasingly consultative style of leadership.  Units have benefited from managing their own affairs as much as possible.

There are two selection days planned due to the high number of applicants. The first is on 28th June and the second one is on the 8th July in the evening. Mike Aston as the selection leader is writing to all applicants to agree which session the applicants will attend.
