EuroJam GB5EJ - Chelmsford

EuroJam at Hylands Park, Chelmsford from 29 July to 10 August 2005, will be the biggest Scouting and Guiding Event in Europe for 10 years.

Over 10,000 people will be on-site, and the event promises to be the experience of a lifetime for Scouts and Guides from all over Europe and beyond.
