Tuesday night saw the main stage come alive with colour and costume as NORJAM 2014 held an International Showcase.

The night saw Scouts and Guides from all around the world demonstrating elements of their culture to the eager crowd.

Many of the performers opted to wear either their national Scout or Guide uniform, or national costumes.

The Thai contingent kicked the show off in style, representing their “smiley people” they brought martial arts to the stage with Thai boxing and swordfighting accompanied by traditional music. They demonstrated skill and showmanship with their display. The contingent

finished their showcase with a dance showing off their glittering golden national costumes.

Australia, Israel and Russia also took to the stage to showcase their cultural identities through music. The Australian Guides provided words, allowing a sing along amongst the audience, while Israel taught a repeat-after-me clapping routine and song. The Israelis also provided a dance, which many in the audience tried to emulate. Scouts from the Russian contingent received applause for their Cossack dancing complete with national dress.

Egyptian Scouts gave a dramatic presentation featuring the history of Egypt. The past was represented by traditional

costumes of early Egyptians in a celebration of their civilisation. The present was a promise of love, peace and friendship, while a performer said the future “is all of ours” to make.

They finished with an energetic dance and song resulting in the smallest Scout holding the flag being carried from the stage.

The final contingent of the night came from Nigeria. The Phidel Guides brought dance and modern music to the stage with enthusiasm and rhythm.

The collected crowd were supportive of each group who took to the stage, providing raucous cheers.

Dotted among the audience were glimpses of other nationalities’ flags and national costumes. The whole evening had a truly international feel.

“The best experience of my life,” exclaimed Jack, 11, 2nd Hawkwell Scouts as he reflected on the day he has spent on the ‘Musical in a Day’.

Rehearsals were the order of the day for the cast who were aged from 10 to 23; singing, acting and dancing in turn.

“There were lots of rehearsals and I loved the dancing. The cast and the crew are all great fun!” explained Bethan,14 who is staying on the Stoneage Subcamp.

Jordan, 15, from 1st Gorleston Scout Group took the leading role, “I was the first person to audition and I am so pleased to get the main part. I wanted to do this to show people what I enjoy and what I can do.”

Some of Queen’s best hits were performed with

energy and enthusiasm and the excited crowd cheered for their friends old and new. Stamping and clapping to ‘We Will Rock You’ and waving and swaying to ‘We Are The Champions’ the evenings two performances certainly were sensational.

The legacy of NORJAM 2014 is being captured down at the Norjamsley Barn all week. Participants and staff alike have been asked to record a few words about their experience at NORJAM 2014, while they have also been writing their names on a large brick

wall as part of a writing legacy. “It’s great to know that it’ll stay there forever, and that we’re a part of something that will never be forgotten,” said Eleanor, 11, Rachel, 11, and Emma, 13, from the Victorian Subcamp.

“There’s something for everyone to do and you can pick what you want, from

dancing to drama; craft to beat boxing. It’s really cool,” enthused Gemma, 14.

“I’ve really enjoyed doing things that I know could inspire future generations,” added Dexter, 12. “It’s a great way to remember everyone and to remember this amazing week as well.”

The wall is going to be saved so it is accessible

to you, your friends and family for years to come, along with the photographs and recordings that have been taken throughout the week. Don’t forget there is also a planned fortnight of “Memories of NORJAM 2014” which will take place at the Forum in the centre of Norwich in October.

At The Movies

Tonight the cinema is running 3 films from the 1980s - Back to the Future at 5.15pm (2hrs15m), Ghost Busters at 7.40pm (2hrs20m) and Top Gun (18+) at 8.10pm (2hrs10m).

Back at NORJAM 2006, love bloomed between a Guide Leader and a Scout Leader. Four years later, Janet and Tim were back at NORJAM 2010, this time married and with a baby, Nicola. It was a special year for Girlguiding as they turned 100 years old, and on the day people celebrated that, their

daughter Nicola was 100 days old. Now she is four, and already at her second NORJAM! She is going to start Rainbows in April, and Janet is already planning on Nicola attending NORJAM as a Brownie next time, and as a participant herself in 8 years.

The Summer of love

No activity is too big, or too small for Amelia, from 1st Blundeston Scout Group, aged 10, who is here with us at NORJAM 2014 this week despite having her foot amputated four months ago. Determined to let nothing hold her back she will try anything! She always has a smile on her face, and makes others laugh. Mark, the troop leader for 1st Blundeston had this to say about Amelia. “She’s a brave girl and is an inspiration to everybody.” This is

clear to see when you visit the group, they only have praise and a sense of respect for Amelia. When you talk to her, she is like a ray of sunshine and having a really good time on camp.

There are many more truly inspirational Scouts and Guides here at NORJAM 2014 this week, so this is a thank you to every single one of you, as watching you overcome adversity, and keep on going, is what makes Scouting and Guiding worthwhile.

Lions evening

Entering the Festival of Crafts area in the bottom end of the site, it is clear to see that it is an emporium of excitement and wonder. Outside Scouts and Guides were gathered round for the doors to reopen after lunch. Doors openend and a sea of participants poured in to the 100ft barn. With 72 activities to try, there was something for everyone. Ranging from the practical to the aesthetically pleasing, the barn was alive with the sound of laugher and new friendships have been forming.

Chaos Science Roadshow was a science based learning activity where we found Fergal, 14, from 1st Spalding Scouts. Fergal was trying out the ear switch hat, which changes which direction you hear in. “WOW” exclaimed Fergal as he was asked to open his eyes after being asked to pinpoint where a noise was coming from.

Harry, 12, from 1st Hullbridge Scouts was

over making a mouse mat. Describing how to create it, Harry detailed how easy and fun it was to complete before grinning and stating “I’m going to use this at home with my PC”.

Making a grass head Andrew, 14, 1st Hugglescote Scouts enthused “I love the freedom to choose your own design and really make it you own and be individual. I can’t wait to see it grow,” he concluded.

Looking across the barn Scrimshaw Tiles was a hub of activity. Using a tea light to blacken the white tile, Cameron, 11, from 1st Great Yeldom Scouts commented on the completion of the task. “After you have blackened the tile you can make a design using a cocktail stick, before sealing it with sticky back plastic”. Pleased with his design Cameron exclaimed “I’m going to hang this on my wall when I get home”.

Over at the Sock Monkey base we found Brogan, 15, Thurrock Explorers.

Excitedly she enthused “I’ve learnt how to sew. I wanted to create a monkey as I saw someone else with one and wanted one for my ruck sack. I’m going to call it Margaret the Monkey.”

Saffron, 11, from 2nd Pitsea St Michael Guides, at first glance had had a bit of an accident, but on closer inspection was having casualty make up applied at Blood, Guts and Gore. When asked what had inspired her to visit the base, she said “I wanted to trick my leader”.

The Festival of Crafts is a hive of activity that excites the senses and inspires creativity. With creatively wondered items, participants left with a plethora of mementoes such as colourful clothing, blinged up bags, wonderful woggles, pretty pots, sumptuous stained glass and beautiful bunting pieces. Enthusiastically gathering their items, Scouts and Guides left; not only with souvenirs to take home, but their newly acquired skills.

crafting up a storm



Of all the awesome things available at NORJAM 2014, the Activity Fields have always been a firm favourite. Featuring a myriad of things including Climbing, Trapeze, Inflatables and Archery, there is something for everyone, from the casual adventurer to the full on adrenaline junkie!

The Go Karting track provides a mini Formula One, with two tracks (one for younger participants and another for older) to try cornering, braking, and

overtaking the competition. Oliver, 10, from 1st Blunderston Troop said “It was fast and furious! You get a huge rush, especially if you overtake someone really well.” Lily, also aged 10 and of the Blunderston Troop quickly joined in, saying; “I think it’s fantastic! You get to wear helmets like a real racer, but it’s still super easy to remember!”

Others favoured Archery, lining up with their best poses to be the Robin Hoods of their day. Each person was paired with a member of staff and soon found

that, with some skill and a little bit of luck, they were hitting the target in no time. “It was much more fun with new people, since it’s a completely new experience.”

Many found that their hearts lay in the roaring engines of the quad bikes, with 12 year old Oscar of the 1st Godstone Scouts saying “I just love to race.”

So with three days left and plenty of new experiences to be had, no matter what your interest the Activity Fields are sure to hit the bull’s eye!

Many back to school stories consist of ‘I went on holiday’ to Spain or ‘I went to the Zoo’. Ryan, 8, from the Romans Subcamp is bucking that trend and has been busily making a scrapbook of his entire NORJAM 2014 adventure.

Detailing how he gets entries in to his scrap book Ryan enthuses, “I’ve been talking to people at the activities and market square. I’ve been lucky enough to get messages from Norway, Kenya, Egypt

and Ghana and I hope to get many more before I leave.”

Pirate Jenny interviewed Ryan on camera and the video was then shown on the NORJAM 2014 Main Stage. Talking about his experience Ryan enthuses “I’ve never been interviewed before; it was great to be able to talk about how I got my Egypt scarf with Pirate Jenny”.

If you want to add a message to Ryan’s scrapbook either catch him out and about or visit him on the Romans Subcamp.

One of the things about NORJAM 2014 that many of our Vikings were looking forward to when they arrived here on Saturday was meeting new people and forming new friendships with Scouts and Guides from across Norfolk, the UK, and the world.

We caught up with some Vikings and asked them to tell us about the new friends they have met so far this week, and to hear their stories of how they met, and the fun they’ve had.

Sometimes the simplest greetings are the best, for Charlotte at Stradbroke Guides, it was as simple as

“They said hi, so I said hi, now we’re friends.”

Michael, Hugo, Harry and Brooke from Poringland Scouts, didn’t have to go far to meet some international Scouts, they are one of the local groups paired with the Hohenlimburg Scouts from Germany. They first met their new friend Kris, while walking to the campsite, and really enjoyed working together with their international friends to build their camp gate, which proudly flies the flags of Germany and the UK.

Andrei and Luke from 2nd Newham had a very classic Scouting and Guiding story of

friendship, the need for a saw to help build their gate brought them and their neighbouring groups together.

The spirit of NORJAM 2014, and Jamborees in general, could not be summed up better than by Raj from 2nd Newham, who said “Even though all the different people I have met are all different, and all speak differently, they were all kind, and nice, and followed the Scout Laws.”

These are just some of the memories that are being made every day here at NORJAM 2014, and there will surely be more to come before this week is out.

Best Friends Forever

We had a chat with a member of the Activities team, Jessica Kershner, 27, an archery instructor at NORJAM 2014.

Q: What is your role within the Activities staff team?

A: I’m an archery instructor, and I’ve mostly been doing the safety instruction – making sure participants are all geared up and ready to go into the field.

Q: How long have you been an archery instructor for?

A: I’ve been doing it back home in Missouri for 6 years, with the Girl Scouts of the Missouri Heartland. Our area wanted to be able to provide archery again, so I started taking courses.

Q: What is your role with the Girl Scouts of Missouri?

A: I used to be a volunteer, but I now work

full time for the Girl Scouts as a volunteer co-ordinator. I miss volunteering, but it’s great to be able to have a bigger impact.

Q: Do you have a favourite Scouting memory?

A: When I was working at a Girl Scout camp when I was 18, I met a bunch of people who did caving and repelling [abseiling]. I went canyoning with some of them, and even though I was kind of scared of heights, I didn’t tell them. We were repelling [abseiling] usually like 25 feet, but then I was roped in to do another. I thought it was going to be the same as the others, but instead of being 25 feet, it was more like 250!

Q: Why did you decide to come to NORJAM 2014?

A: I got an email at my office about it. I’d never been to Europe before, and although I couldn’t get a contingent together,

Thailand contingent show #NORJAM2014

@Sobradmad

@NORJAM2014 WOHOOOOOOO yeAAAAH!! LETS DO THE CHA CHA SLIDE

I didn’t want to miss the opportunity so I came by myself.

Q: What’s been your best bit of NORJAM 2014 so far?

A: I’ve ended up with a group of people who also

all came along. We eat together, work together, and spend evenings together. It’s been neat to meet people from different cultures. I’ve been learning some new slang words too, like “cheers!”



“What do you think?”This is my troop’s first

ever NORJAM 2014 camping experience, and I think I speak for all of us when I say that we are having an amazing time!

I asked my contingent what they thought and here’s what they had to say!

First up I asked my Scout Leader, Lawrence (AKA my dad!) “NORJAM’s great! I love the Craft Tents and the wood burning, but mostly I love the happy, smiley faces everywhere!

The weather can’t keep us down!”

Then I decided to ask my fellow Scouts how they felt about NORJAM 2014. Arianna,11, said that the various entrances and archways to contingents and Subcamps are

“fantastic”. I then asked James,

12, and he said “It’s great because I’ve seen people and made friends with from different Subcamps”.

The last person I asked to round up their NORJAM 2014 experiences was my Assistant Scout Leader.

“It’s fantastic and there are so many opportunities. It’s a great way to make new friends from other counties and countries too!”

Overall it’s fair to say that everyone at 1st Horsford St Faiths is loving NORJAM 2014 so far!

The Middle Ages Subcamp would like to thank their Austrian Contingent for a fantastic “Austrian Brettljaus’n” on Monday night.

Excellent food was paired

with excellent company and great fun was had by all!

So who’s up for the International Jamboree 2016 of the Lower Austrian Scouts and Guides? We are!

by Simon Daley and Emma Hubbard

MiddleAges

Tonight sees the final of our Subcamp jousting competition. Seven teams battle it out on space hoppers to be crowned

Middle Ages Jousting Champions. Those taking part include 1st Downham Market Scouts, Chadwell Scouts, 1st Martham

Scouts, Bob’s Dinosaurs Explorers, 1st Stoke Climsden Scouts and 1st Holt Scouts. Final results announced tomorrow!

A rather intriguing figure appeared on the Romans Subcamp on Tuesday evening; with his trident by his side Neptune surfaced from the deep ready to receive his gifts a plenty.

Up on the shore, the Subcamp team have been working all day; out in the sun they slave away but luckily for Neptune he has been at home this week with the rather interchangeable weather.

Once Neptune had been honoured with gifts a

plenty of treasures from the deep including a mackerel who enjoyed time in somebody else’s lake, fish and chips, a message in a bottle, a tankard and sea creatures.

Life was definitely the bubbles for Neptune when he left us last night, or should I say he created bubbles during his departure; just as he arrived Neptune left us via the Roman Bath where he was very kindly carried or should we say launched into his empire…slightly colder than he remembered!

The onlookers were

certainly happy as we watched the waves roll!

Water seems to have been the theme of the Romans Subcamp over the past few days.

Kayleigh from JAM FM followed in Neptune’s footsteps yesterday morning when she was challenged to a dip in our Roman Bath.

In order to receive her free breakfast of sausage sandwiches, Kayleigh had to prove that she was worthy; with a running jump she immersed herself fully (including her pink onesie!) into the bath.

With such wonderful people around her she was also treated, by some of our lovely Subcamp team, to a few buckets of water over the head.

We can safely say that Kayleigh completed this challenge in high spirits and was awarded her sausage sandwiches.

With another day of Pick ‘n’ Mix activities on the Subcamp here in Rome; we have had visitors from the Stoneage Subcamp who have been busying around making Roman crafts and enjoying our outdoor activities.

As a Subcamp team we love hearing all of your stories so pop in and tell us what you have been up to and what you have enjoyed doing this week.

A massive Roman Empire well done needs to go to the Phidel Guides from Nigeria who flew the flag for the Subcamp at the NORJAM 2014 International Evening on Tuesday.

**Competition time: Can you guess the song lyrics used in this article?**

Hail Caesar… definitely still a salad!

Under the sea - do be do be do...

Austrian delight



Fun without electric - life in the Stoneage

Yesterday the Stoneage contingents enjoyed a chance to really explore NORJAM 2014 and soak in the atmosphere. With lots of Pick ‘n’ Mix activities on offer there was something for everyone in a variety of locations around the site.

There are lots of games to play in the Chillax and International areas that show you it is possible to have fun without electricity! Particular favourites included marble

chequers and a tower of Hanoi puzzle, not forgetting traditional fairground games like peg pull and bagatelle. The Faith tent offered a chance to “Pause, Ponder and Play” with other members of Scouting and Guiding in a fun and relaxed environment. Contingents loved making clay figures, decorating totem poles and learning about other cultures, all as part of their Pick‘n’Mix session.

Back on the Subcamp, the team had arranged

a selection of crafts and activities which showcased the Stoneage spirit. Things to do ranged from making milk bottle mammoths and split pin dinosaurs to creating beautiful sand art and even painting plaster dinosaurs. Everyone had a fantastic time and really got stuck in!

Also on offer yesterday was the opportunity for the contingents to visit the Festival Circus. They all thoroughly enjoyed the performance, which included acts such as

juggling, hoola hooping and gymnastics. The Scouts and Guides cheered along as they watched in amazement and their leaders seemed quite happy that some have lost their voices today! After the show there was a chance for the young people to have a go themselves and learn circus skills such as how to spin plates and use a diablo.

Tonight on the Stoneage Subcamp will see a session of a true Stoneage pastime, bedrock bingo! Starting at 7pm in the marquee,

it’s sure to be a fun filled evening, so bring everyone along and get ready for eyes down for a full house!

Don’t forget our scavenger hunt is still ongoing. Get a team together and visit the Subcamp marquee for your list of things to hunt. Good luck! If you haven’t already, come and leave your mark on our Stoneage gateway and marvel at the fantastic shields made by our contingents – we’d love to see you!

Being part of a team

We have really noticed this week the effort you Scouts and Guides go to! There have been so many things going on where you have all worked as a team or come together to help each other out, which has been really great to see!

Another brilliant way you have been working as a team was yesterday in “It’s a Knockout!” We came and cheered you on and we were impressed at how the Tudors Subcamp were mixing and being part of a team. If any of you want to see some pictures we took head over to our Tudors reception and have a look.

Come down and visit us

at our Subcamp and try out all the different crafts and games we have. We have beady men, badges and fridge magnets, juggling balls and wooden key rings.

Also don’t forget that group photos are available, if you would like a group photo contact us and we will arrange it for you!

A massive good luck to those who are competing in the finals of NORJAM’s Got Talent tonight, we know you will do brilliantly and we can’t wait to see the winners in the Closing Ceremony.

We also hope that you have a fantastic day out at Pleasurewood Hills or Great Yarmouth Pleasure Beach. We wish we could come with you!

Also a massive good luck

to those of you that are getting your results today, we know you will all do brilliantly.

We also had six Guides being presented with their Baden Powell awards, massive congratulations for all the hard work that has been put into receiving these awards!

The girls that where presented with this award were Rebecca, Hannah, Emily, Rose, Ellie and Jodie. These award where presented by Karen Judge the Division Commissioner of Thurrock West. Very well done.

The volleyball competition has had a fantastic turn out with loads of different groups coming to the reception with their teams and

finding out when their next game is. The quarter finals are underway as of yesterday and are going really well, and were seeing some very strong team work and skills.

For the teams that didn’t make it to the quarter finals we would like to say a massive well done.

Over 90% of the people around in the Tudor era used to live outside, so this week we are living like true Tudors, experiencing different weathers and having lots of different attractions nearby.

So, if you haven’t already, go and have a look in the Big Apple for some retail therapy, visit the cinema as they have some brilliant films on, or even go to Flux for a boogie.

Over this week we have had the chance to visit all the Subcamps and see the spectacular gates you have made.

We have seen some really hard work put into them

and it has been amazing to see them all.

The gates had a battering in the wind and rain but it is great to see them being re-constructed and put back up.

Gate spectacular
