FROM THE CAMP CHIEF

Our final day together has arrived, and it is pack up day.

We have been blessed with sunshine over the last few days which I hope has dried your tentage, and campsite to allow at least a dry pack up.

I enjoyed a lovely meal with ACT “That Circus” CO12 last night.

AJ’s Got Talent finals last night were amazing, and the judges determine Miles from Victoria C031 was the winner with a wonderful rendition of “electricity” from Billy Elliott. All the finalists did themselves and their Units proud. BRAVO all.

It has been an absolute pleasure to meet so many of your over the last 10 days at AJ2025.

On behalf of Queensland Branch thank you for joining us for this Jamboree, it has been our honour and pleasure to host you at Maryborough for AJ2025.

Over the Jamboree I have met and spoken to thousands of Youth Members and Leaders, and everyone single person has indicated what a fantastic time they have had at AJ2025. Our theme of “Your Quest Your Way” was to provide choice for Youth Members at this Jamboree.

The firm commitment of our Unit Leaders, Service Leaders, Contingents, and all support personnel in the many roles allowed us to achieve that goal.

Thank You from the bottom of my heart.

Please travel safely home whether that be across Australia or the world.

Take with you the strength of the Scouting spirit shared at this Jamboree and seek to enhance it in your Scout Group. Share the memories of your experience with your friends and family.

Work hard to continue the friendships established at AJ2025 and believe me they will last you a lifetime!

I look forward to seeing you all at the closing ceremony tonight where we will officially close AJ2025.
