Arriva helps Scouting in North London to launch Jamboree logo

Greater London North 2011 Scouting Jamboree logo launchA group of 36 young people aged 13 - 18 have been selected from a large number of applicants to represent Scouting in Greater London North at the 2011 world scout jamboree in Sweden.

The group, which encompasses the boroughs of Enfield, Haringey, Barnet, Camden, Islington and the City of London, have designed a Unit logo, which will be made into a badge for the jamboree.

Greater London North 2011 Scouting LogoFeaturing a London Routemaster Bus set against a London skyline picked out in the Swedish colours of yellow and blue, to link London and Sweden, the Logo was launched using a full size Routemaster from Arriva's heritage fleet.

The young people will attend the Jamboree and then spend some time visiting Scouts in the Baltic countries and they are currently actively fundraising to cover the costs of the trip.

Greater London North 2011 Scouting Jamboree logo launchThe 22nd World Scout Jamboree will be held on the fields of Rinkaby, not far from the town of Kristianstad, in the province of Skåne, in the south of Sweden in the summer of 2011. The Jamboree takes place every four years, and demonstrates the very best the movement can offer: youth, community and the future. 40,000 young people and adults will spend almost three weeks together, giving them the chance to discover what it means to live in a global, interconnected world.
