ESTONIAN NATIONAL JAMBOREE 2017
“WHEEL OF ADVENTURE”
In the summer of 2017, somewhere in the north-eastern part
of Europe, at the place where north and south, east and west
meet, a jamboree will take place. The Estonian National
Jamboree! Come and be a part of it! As we Estonians say:
friendship and adventure – this is scouting. This is our
lifestyle and what else is scouting, if not a grand WHEEL OF
ADVENTURE or in Estonian – SEIKLUSRATAS! The camp will
take place in our camp site which is as if straight out of a
fairy tale. The camp site is situated in an ancient forest and in the middle of it is a hunting lodge.
This is where our scouting traditions and the cleverness inherent in Estonians meet up. Modern
day and history. The forest and the castle. Brain and brawn. Spirit and the practical. It will be a
special experience for over a thousand scouts and guides from all over the world.
TIME: 08.-15.07.2017
Pre-camp: 05.-07.07.2017
After-camp: 16.-18.07.2017
PLACE: Tagametsa Hunting Lodge and Camping
Center (ca 120 km from Tallinn, in Google Maps
“Tagametsa jahiloss, Türi vald”).
ACTIVITIES: During the eight days of camp,
different activities will take place ranging from
the traditional to brand new. Every day of activity
has its own name – safety day, opinion day,
health day, good deed day, extreme day and nature day. Every day has its own leader who
coordinates the activities. Exciting moments are offered by, for example, a Rambo trail and
paintball. But this is not it – there is nothing like an opinion festival or laugh therapy or forest
yoga to get the heart beating faster. Everyone will find something that they will absolutely adore
from the program. As is tradition, there will be many campfires – the opening ceremony, the
central great fire and the ending ceremony will all have a grand fire to warm up our souls. There
are even 2 separate disco parties where one can dance like crazy. And what would be a camp
without a hike? There will be hikes of different lengths ranging from 4 hours to 48 hours.
PARTICIPANTS: We await all international participants – scouts and guides – from the age of
12. For every 10 participants there must be one adult leader. Every participant who is 18+ but not
