At the 39th World Scout Conference


Swedish scouts are right now taking part in the 39th World Scout Conference in Curitiba, Brazil. We will present the 22nd World Scout Jamboree in Sweden for the conference, host an exhibition, answer questions and hopefully have good discussions with the different countries attending the conference.



This time my team is representing the jamboree without me and when I look out of the window and see the snow covered landscape both Brazil
and Swedish summer feels quite far away. But we know that it is less than 200 days left!

My team has told me that there is a great interest for the jamboree at the conference and lots of people visit our exhibition. Yesterday, our Executive Director, Göran Hägerdal, held a presentation in the plenary hall and he announced that we have now raised our prognosis from 30 000 to 34 000 scouts coming to Sweden for the jamboree this summer!!
