Emilia said “I can’t wait to get on a plane to Iceland and meet Scouts from all over the world. I am looking forward to learning new skills and experiencing new cultures that I can pass onto the young people that I lead. Attending the World Scout Moot in Iceland will be a real adventure and I can’t wait. I’ve attended the World Scout Jamboree previously and absolutely loved it!”

Tina said “I love experiencing new cultures and food from around the world. New friends are only a months away!”

Participants will stay at the National Scout Centre on the stunning banks of Lake Ulfljotsvatn. They will make new friends from across the world and visit Geysir and the stunning waterfalls of Gullfoss.

Chief Scout, Bear Grylls said: “I’d just like to say a massive good luck to our brilliant UK Contingent. I am sure it’s going to be a trip to remember! I have filmed many times in Iceland and it is an incredible place to adventure and develop new skills that you can use throughout the rest of your life. It’s also a place that tests what you are made of!”
