Scouts prepare for Japan adventure

Pictured here are Mansfield scouts Emma Nolan, Jade Walker, Alex Redford, Jenny Coupe.

One year from now they will be representing the UK at the 23rd World Scout Jamboree in Japan.

The four are part of a unit of 36 scouts aged 14-17, who will be guided by four volunteer adult leaders from the county who have been specially selected to support the unit during their adventure.

The unit, known as Nottinghamshire’s Hoods 40, is busy preparing for the trip with a series of weekend camps.
