The sights, sounds and foods of cultures from around the world will provide an exotic welcome for visitors to a Perthshire event this weekend.
With scouts from as far afield as Ghana to Iceland among those taking part in the 35th Blair Atholl International Jamborette, sharing cultural differences is an integral part of the event.
On Saturday the general public have been invited to share in that experience at a camp open day for a small donation.
“There will be a country fair where all the different nationalities will be setting up stalls with examples of their customs, food and drink from their countries,” said camp chief Andrew Sharkey.
“It is not just the international visitors, the scouts from Angus have brought jam and strawberries along.
“People are more than welcome to come along and see things for themselves.”
Music and performances will add to the open day with the gates opening at 1.15 pm and the international fair staring at 2pm. A campfire at 9pm will bring the day to a close.
The two-week camp is midway through and this weekend will see 700 younger scouts (ten to 14-years-old) join the 1,000 older scouts for a satellite camp.
“The weekend camp gives them a flavour of the event and the chance to be part of the jamborette family,” said Mr Sharkey.
“It has been going really well, everybody is having a great time taking part in everything from bushcraft to cooking and making new friends. It is so good to see them teaming up with people they have never met before.”
