first about jambooree
Thailand, Land of Smiles, a country with richness in culture and nature, would like to extend warm invitation to all Scouts and leaders from the National Scout Organizations and members of WOSM to come to Thailand in 2003 for the 20th World Scout Jamboree. We will offer them good opportunity to experience for themselves the enchanted beauty of our land, our warm hospitality and friendliness, the exchange of different cultures and traditions to create peace, harmony and friendship in world brotherhood.
Share Our World, Share Our Culture
The Jamboree will be a great gathering event, providing an opportunity for 30,000 Scouts from all over the world to spend 12 days camping together and attend interesting actvities which will be designed for them in self-development and social responsibility within the framework of the educational Scout method. The Jamboree will foster the progress and unity of World Scout Movement to the next millenium and will also strongly link it to the Asian cultures which open up to modernity, both in terms of activities and method used in cheerful and friendly atmosphere

2. About Activities


The 20th World Scout Jamboree in Thailand will be an important event full of challenging and interesting activities for Scouts coming from all over the world. The activities are especially designed to offer non-formal education opportunities to cope with the world awareness for the youth in the next Millenium. Emphasis will be made on learning through activities which will enable young Scouts to gain, in particular, physical skills, scientific initiation and latest information technology, to be well aware of environment education, community development and to have an opportunity to a dialogue of culture.
Scouts will have an opportunity to learn about Thai culture and traditions. The exhibition of arts and cultures of the host nation and other Asian and Pacific countries will be on display during the period of the World Jamboree.
The Jamboree site is surrounded by many beautiful mountains and lakes as well as sandy beaches and a crystal clear sea. Water sports will be a main feature.

3.Location

The 20th World Scout Jamboree will take place at Sattahip located in Chonburi Province, 150 kms south of Bangkok, on the east coast of the Gulf of Thailand. The area covers about 1,200 hectares and consists of flat plains, foothills and a long white sandy beach, gradually sloping down towards the crystal blue sea which is suitable for water-sports and outdoor activities.
These two shots show Sattahip town. You won't find much information in guide books as most of the area is owned by the Royal Thai Navy. However, many Bangkokians travel here for a long weekend for the quiet town-life and beautiful beaches. The jamboree site is about 10 kms east of the town.
We visited the Jamboree site for the first time in February 2000 with representatives from the World Scout Bureau. They haven't started clearing the site yet, though they are hoping to hold the next Pre-Jamboree Camp there in September 2000.
TRANSPORTATION: The trip from Bangkok International Airport (Don Muang Airport) to the Sattahip Jamboree site can easily be made by bus using the eight lanes Bangna-Trad express way to Chonburi-Bangsaen-Pattaya and Sattahip. The train station is opposite Don Muang Airport. There will be a special train service direct to Plu Taluang Station at Sattahip which is only 15 kms from the camp site. It is also possible to take a direct charter flight overseas to U-Tapao Airport, at only 15 kms from the camp site. Some contingents can travel or send their luggage/equipment by boat to the Laem Chabang deep sea port, also near the camp site.
FACILITIES: The convenient facilities such as supermarkets, cafeteria, post offices, souvenir shops, toilets, first-aid stations and modern hospital will be provided at the Jamboree. Hotel accommodation at moderate price is available nearby.
