Making the greatest camp ever, no problem!
Inside the check in area there is a girl standing beside a box of IST T-shirts. It is Erika from Finland and she has been at Rinkaby for one day, arriving earlier to help with the Pre-IST work.
“I’m handing out T-shirts to arriving ISTs” Erika says.A slow job, since most of the ISTs haven’t arrived yet, but handing out T-shirts won’t be the only thing she does during the Jamboree. Exactly what she will be doing yet is a surprise, but that is not a problem.
“I have done many things in the past, so I’m comfortable with everything!” Erika says.
It is the 25th of July, and suddenly bus after bus starts arriving to Rinkaby. Off jump Scouts of almost every age and nationality, packed with bags, expectations and camp nerves. Even though they may look different, they all have one thing in common. They are a part of the International Service Team at the 22nd World Scout Jamboree!
Ester Olsson is another Pre IST-worker who is guiding all of the arriving IST’s to individual tent slots. An important job, since there are a lot of tents and they all need to be in the right place! Ester has been waiting a long time for this experience, and expects to meet a lot of new people. She has already met some; working in the camp kitchen gave her the opportunity to get to know some Scouts from Spain.“I hope I will have a great time here at camp, and make sure that all the participants also have a good time” Ester Olsson says.

Meetings, new experiences, friends and international connections seems to be important for a lot of the ISTs. Since the Jam-boree environment is full of friendly, international scouts that are motivated to make this the greatest camp ever, that sure won’t be a problem! Not judging from the arrival of the ISTs anyway.
Having just jumped off the bus, dressed in a light brown uniform and waiting to get his bag, is Martin Kean from Scotland. Ever since he landed in Sweden five days ago, he and some friends have been hiking all the way from Ystad to the campsite in Rinkaby. An adventure that not only made him walk a lot, but also get in touch with the Simply Scouting theme! Since it is his first jamboree, he does not really know what to expect from it.
“I’m just seeing what happens once I get here!” Martin Kean says.
Suddenly a special bus drives in with a group of ISTs from Luxembourg. It’s small country, but the newly arrived scouts are luckily quite many! One of them is Anne Wagner, who wanted to go to Sweden after visiting the 21st Jamboree four years ago.“I was so overwhelmed with everything that I took this decision to go to Sweden” says Anne Wagner.On this jamboree she is looking forward to meeting new friends of all nationalities. And of course she wants to have a lot of fun!
Réalisons le meilleur camp possible, pas de problème!Le 25 juillet les EIS vont arriver et des scouts du monde entier vont
se rencontrer à la réception. Eux, et peut être toi qui lis, vous dev-
riez faire du Jamboree un lieu merveilleux et tous ont beaucoup
d’attentes sur ça. Les rencontres, les nouvelles expériences, l’amitié
et les connaissances internationales semblent être très importan-
tes pour beaucoup d’eaux. Puisque au Jamboree il ya beaucoup de
scouts étrangers, amicaux et bien motivés à faire de ce camp une très
grande expérience, ça ne devrait pas etre un problème !
Toutefois ne jugez pas l’arrivé d’un EIS.

How to build a city in two months
Hej Jam sat down with Thomas “Tödde” Nilsson, member of the Site Service department team. With a special re-sponsibility for infrastructure on site, Tödde has been on
site since the 15th of June, but the preparatory work has gone on for much longer than that.
“We started digging down the mains for water and sewerage in August last year” says Tödde.
Flushing toilets is a new feature on Swedish scout camps, so new infrastructure was needed. The sewage from the site is sent into the municipality system where it eventually will become bio gas.
“Together with the electricity, water and sewerage have been the largest challenges of this camp” says Tödde.
The first weekend of June marked the end of the larger infra-structural work; starting by midsummer a finer grid of electric-ity, water and communication cables was plowed down on site. The build-up phase started in earnest on the 15th of June when builders -- all volunteers -- arrived at what then still was virtually a large empty field, inhabited by nothing but cows.
“The only thing here by then was the Dining Hall and some of the Site Service locations. Tents larger than 12 meters are built by external contractors, everything else is done by us” says Tödde.So what does it take to build up a World Scout Jamboree? Tödde tells us that at most there have been 500 volunteers in the Build-ing Team, doing everything from installing electricity to erecting the tents.
The World Scout Jamboree site is nothing less than a middle sized city -it is in fact the 26th largest city in Sweden when it comes to the number of inhabitants. All cities need infrastructure, buildings and water pipes, so how is it possible to build a city in such a short time? And in canvas, just to add to the challenge!
by Wilhelm Tunemyr
6 Hej Jam!
“The builders have been fantastic, working from seven in the morning until nine, ten in the evening, every day of the week.”Building a canvas city would be challenging enough, but the jam-boree differs in yet another way from ordinary cities -- after two weeks of use, it’s going away again!
“On Wednesday, 27th of July, we start planning the deconstruc-tion. Hopefully, though, we can get some help from the users of the tents so it shouldn’t take more than around two weeks” says Tödde.
The final part of leaving the field, the dismantling of the drain-age system, will be done in September. After this, the only breech of the silence will once again be the cattle.
Comment bâtir un village en deux moisThomas ”Tödde” Nilsson travaille aux infrastructures. Il est sur
le site du camp dès le 15 juin mais la préparation du camp a
commence bien avant.
- En aout nous avons commencé par creuser le réseau hydrique
et l’égout, dit Tödde. Ça a été le défi le plus grand avec le réseau
électrique.
La grande infrastructure a été accomplie au début du mois de
Juin et le 15 juin est arrivé la grande équipe des constructeurs.
Plus de 500 personnes – tous bénévoles- ont bâti les tentes, rac-
cordé l’électricité, bâti des cabanes et beaucoup plus.
- Les constructeurs ont été magnifiques. Ils commençaient à tra-
vailler à 7 heures le matin jusqu’à neuf, dix heures le soir, tous
les jours. Pourtant il y a encore du travail à faire.
- Mercredi 27 juillet nous commencerons à penser à la décon-
struction. Nous pensons ça va prendre deux semaines.
En septembre le camp sera à nouveau vide, sauf que pour beau-
coup de souvenirs – et le bétail.
Imagine a place where you don't have to choose between rich nature and a vibrant city centre. Amanda Bauer, 17, Johan Nilsson, 16, Max Aronsson, 15, and Oliver Omars-son, 15, give you an insight into what it is like being young in Kristianstad, Sweden's most active Scout municipality!
- Living in Kristianstad gives us the best of two worlds. The city is big enough to offer the things that we want, but is also small enough to make us feel safe, says Amanda Bauer.
When these scouts want to have fun, there are a number of things that they like to do. The one thing that they all have in common is that they all love swimming, both in-doors and outdoors.
- We like to go to Åhus, just outside of Kristianstad, to the beautiful beaches. There are also warmer lakes in the countryside and a heated pool with a water slide right in the city centre, says Amanda Bauer.
Other interests include shopping and going to cafés, visit-ing museums and supporting the local handball team, IFK Kristianstad.
When asked the question what attraction in Kristianstad would be the best thing to show their fellow scouts, they agreed upon the newly built Naturum Vattenriket Visitor's Centre. The centre is located in the heart of the biosphere reserve area, designed to promote and demonstrate a bal-anced relationship between people and nature.
And of course, a visit to Kristianstad is not complete until you have taken a swim in the sea!
The city of ScoutingKristianstad est le distinct à plus grande densité scout de
le Suède, il réuni la vie de la ville et une nature très riche.
Amanda Bauer 17, Johan Nilsson 16, Max Aronsson 15, and
Oliver Omarsson 15, nous racontent de la vie en ville.
- Kristianstad est assez grande pour nos activité, mais aussi
suffisamment petite pour nous garantir sureté, dit Amanda
Bauer. Nos activités sont souvent dans des cafés, musés, ma-
gasins sans oublier la plage. Les plages de Åhus sont nos
favorites.
Quoi un scout devrait – il absolument visiter à Kristianstad ?
Le groupe est d’accord : Le Centre Visiteurs Vattenriket . Il
se trouve dans la réserve de la biosphère, le centre soutient
un développent équilibré entre personnes et nature. Il est
claire qu’il faut aussi nager !

A patchwork of colors
Placed in the very south of Sweden, Skåne is almost com-pletely surrounded by water and beautiful beaches, and it is easy to get to Denmark via ferry or the Öresund Bridge.
Up to 1658 Skåne was actually a part of Denmark. For many years the Swedes fought against Danish rebellions, called Snapphanar. Some people still say the Scanians are partly Danish, especially because of the Danish-influenced accent.
Skåne has pure Swedish nature: big green forests, three national parks and countless lakes. As you can see in Rinkaby, Skåne is very flat, and with perfect soil for crop cultivation, the landscape looks like a big, colorful patchwork quilt from above.
Skåne’s biggest city, Malmö, is a multicultural town that is called the “City of Parks.” There is good reason for this - it is incredibly green! Some kilometres north of Malmö is Lund, a charming town with small alleys and a cathedral from the 12th century. Lund’s big university attracts students from all over the world.
Food is a big part of the Scanian culture, and if you want to eat something typically Scanian you should get yourself a piece of Spettkaka. The hard cake, made from eggs and sugar, is not as common as it was in the old days, but still considered a Scanian delicacy. A great time for other traditional foods is in November, when Scanians celebrate St. Martins Day (or Mårtens afton as it is called in Swedish) in the remembrance of St. Martin of Tours. On that day goose and a soup made from goose blood is the menu. That might sounds strange, and even though it’s popu-lar, most of the Scanian population have never tried the ”Black Soup”.
Skåne is a small but sunny province that has a lot to offer, and you are most welcome to come here again after the Jamboree!
Sweden is divided into 25 different provinces and the one where the 22nd World Scout Jamboree is taking place is called Skåne. It’s not just a place for Scouting, but a region of good farming, food and Danish history.by Linnea Wedelin
Les couleurs de SkåneSkåne est une de 25 régions suédoises et elle a beaucoup à offrir. Paysages naturels avec forets et lacs, grandes villes et une culture culinaire très intéressante ne sont que des exemples. L’agriculture est très répandue car le terrain est très productif et les champs tous différemment col-orés. Skåne était au Danemark jusqu’à 1658 et passa à la Suède lorsque les suédois gagnèrent une guerre contre leurs voisins de l’ouest. Skåne est une jolie petite region et vous êtes les très bienvenus ici après le Jamboree.

A patchwork of colors
The same thing always happened when I told my friends and family I was bound for Sweden this summer. Jealousy! by Megan Donoghue
My friends were jealous that I was going to get to hike, kayak and climb through some of the most amazing na-ture in the world. My sisters were annoyed that I took
their casual summer clothes and left them in Australia with my winter jackets. My brother told me I should send him instead, so he could become friends with all of the extremely attractive Swedish girls! I’ll let you in on a secret though; Sweden itself is extremely attractive!
Sweden is the third largest country by area in Europe, and some of the best opportunities to take part in outdoor adventures, which is probably why 9.4 million people live here! Hiking, cy-cling, river-rafting, swimming, fishing, alpine skiing, kayaking, boating. The Swedish outdoors are a mix of the good, beautiful and wild, and access to nature seems like a human right to the Swedes! With so many forests, rivers, lakes and national parks you’re never too far away from a fantastic outdoor experience!
My favorite Swedish law is Allemansrätten. Don’t ask me to pro-nounce it, but it gives the public free access to camp and hike across any land unless trespassing is specifically forbidden. In summer the forests are full of hikers and campers, and in winter cross country skiers!
On top of amazing scenery, Sweden also has some amazing wild-life! You might be lucky enough to see either a roe deer or even a moose! There are between 300, 000 and 400, 000 moose in Swe-den... I’ve heard they’re a huge traffic hazard!
Some advice from me whilst you're in Sweden… never pay for water! Swedish tap water is the most delicious water you will ever taste, and as a seasoned traveller I can promise you won’t find water any cleaner or tastier anywhere else in the world!
You should also do yourself a favour and visit a bakery; Sweden is a heaven for a sweet tooth! Cinnamon buns, 'Princess' cake, chocolate balls, saffron sweet bread… do I really have to keep going?!
Enjoy Sweden!
Bienvenus en Suède, le troisième pays d’Europe !En tant que scouts vous êtes dans le juste endroit ! Les paysag-es suédois sont fascinants, merveilleux, sauvages … les suédois pensent que la nature est presque un des droits fondamentaux de l’homme ! ici tu n’est jamais trop loin pour vivre une expéri-ence magnifique dans un paysage sensationnel, soit il avec des randonnés, des excursions en vélo, du rafting sur les fleuves, de la natation, de la pêche, du kayak ou bien avec des excursions en bateau.Au-delà des paysages la Suède a aussi une flore et une faune extraordinaires ! si vous avez de la chance vous pourrez voir les chevreuils ou les élans ! il y a entre 300,000 et 400,000 élans en Suède … j’ai entendu dire qu’ils sont un grand problème pour la circulation !
