Over the next few months the East Lancashire 2007 team will announce through this site, more details for the events and support activities being provided from a County to World wide level.

We have teamed up with easyfundraising who provide a free service where you can raise funds for East Lancashire Scouts World Scout Jamboree Contingent for 2007 and also save money when you shop online.

In 2007 Scouting will celebrate its centenary.

Scouting 2007 has been established as a subsidiary of The Scout Association, and has responsibility for events and activities leading up to and during 2007.

Scouting started in 1907, with an experimental camp on Brownsea Island in the UK for 20 boys from a wide variety of social backgrounds.

The promotion of International Peace was the reason Baden-Powell organised the first World Scout Jamboree in 1920 - and Peace was the theme of B-P's speech at the closing ceremony.

"Join in Centenary" will be a resource pack full of programme ideas to help every Scout around the world participate in the Centenary of Scouting to the full.

The 2007 Centenary is totally inclusive - the celebration belongs to everyone Just as we plan now to impact on the lives of young people through our 2007 Celebrations - 50 years ago literally thousands of lives were changed at the 1957 Jubilee Jamboree We want to bring as many people back together who participated in any manner……

As a celebration of 100 years of Scouting, Lancashire Scouts would like to offer their time and energy as a gift to the people of Lancashire.
