Welcome I find the theme of the 23rd World Scout Jamboree particularly pertinent and important, since I think that we need to nurture, more and more, “A Spirit of Unity”. A Jamboree is an extraordinary opportunity to do this and each of us is in a privileged position to have a role in developing that spirit. And this starts from now. I encourage each one of us to prepare ourselves well to this exciting adventure. Not only to prepare our backpacks, our uniforms, our materials, but also to prepare our minds and our hearts to be ready, and open, to discover others and to learn from them. And, more importantly, to work together. Our friends of SAJ (Scout Association of Japan) are working hard to provide the best possible experiences to all those who will have the privilege to travel to Kirara-hama (Yamaguchi City), in August next year. But the success of this World Scout Jamboree lays on each young participant, each Scout leader or each IST member. All of us will make this event memorable. Looking forward to see you in Japan! João Armando G. Chairperson, World Scout Committee (Appointed in 40th World Scout Conference, Slovenia 2014) Dear friends in Scouting, It is only a few months until the Scouting world meets in Japan for the 23rd World Scout Jamboree. There are not many organisations who are able to bring together, on a regular basis, tens of thousands of young people from all over the globe. WOSM is. Every 4 years we join to celebrate our diversity, but also our common values; we share our practices, as scouts, but also our ways of living, our cultures, our dreams and our challenges. We make new friends, we have fun together, and we discover how similar we really are as human beings. 01 23 rd e WORLD SCOUT JAMBOREE SCOUT MONDIAL in YAMAGUCHI Kirara-hama / Bulletin #5 23rd World Scout Jamboree in YAMAGUCHI Kirara-hama Bulletin #05 October 2014
