Scout Jamboree - Louis fudraising page
I am attending the 25th World Scout Jamboree in South Korea and am working hard to fundraise for this epic international adventure in global development.
I need to raise £4,100 to attend, and around two-thirds of this goes to fund other poorer young people from across the globe so that they can participate too.
Thank you for your support!
