Category: World Scout Moot 2017

The World Scout Moot is an official event of the World Organization of the Scout Movement (WOSM), hosted and organized by the Icelandic Boy and Girl Scout Association, for young people aged between 18 and 25 inclusive. The 15th World Scout Moot will be held in Iceland between 25th July and 2nd August.

I was fortunate enough to be able to attend the 15th World Scout Moot in Iceland in 2017. Please read about my journey!

A Night in Reykjavik 

We arrived at Menntaskólinn við Hamrahlíð (a local high school) where we set up our beds in what can only be described as a 200-man spoon (a very tightly packed hall full of UK Scouts!). We left at around 19:00 to go

Packing

Despite the image of my holdall suggesting that I’m going to be travelling to Japan, I’m actually still travelling to Iceland. And after a pretty stressful evening, just about everything is packed ready for Monday morning. Just the kitchen sink is ready
