Chiltern Academy Year 10 student, Meghna P, has been selected to represent Bedfordshire Scouts at the 2027 World Scout Jamboree in Poland!
This is a brilliant opportunity for her to develop leadership skills and connect with young people globally.
To take part, Meghna needs to fundraise £3,500 to cover travel and kit costs. Crucially, a portion of the money raised will also go towards solidarity funds, ensuring scouts worldwide get an equal chance to attend.
