Scottish Trips in 2007
In 2007, there were some amazing Scottish trips organised to the 
following international camps:
July 28 - August 5, Life 07 National Jamboree, Denmark
We joined the Green Girl Guides in Denmark at their National Jamboree 2007. We shared the spirit of Guiding with 4000 girl guides and girl scouts from Denmark and the rest of the world. Read about Scottish girls' experiences.
Jiingijamborii! 14 to 22 July, Sweden
In summer 2007, Sweden's Scouts and Guides gathered on the fields of Rinkaby for Jiingijamborii - the second Swedish National Jamboree. 23,000 participants worked and played together. Its goal was to offer participants the very best of Swedish Scouting. Read Scottish members' thoughts on the camp here.
Campa Le Chéile, 7 -14 July 2007, Ireland
Campa Le Chéile was the 2007 International Camp of The Irish Girl Guides. The pronounciation of the Camp name is 'Camp-a-Le-Kay-la' (which means 'Camping Together' when translated from the Irish language) but luckily the official language of the camp is English. The camp's theme was 'Celebrating Cultural Diversity' and our members' comments show it's aim was definitely achieved.
