<div>Hey Everyone,
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>My name is Bella Abbott and I am one of the three Crawley Explorers to get into the World Scout Jamboree in 2027! I am 14 years old and have been involved in scouting for longer than I can remember.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Scouting has always been a very important aspect of my life and I believe it has had a big part to play in who I am as a person writing this today.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>I am honoured to have been one of the three young people selected to represent West Sussex scouts. The Jamboree is going to be a once in a lifetime opportunity as it connects scouting groups from all over the world. This is really important to me as since I was really little my Mum and Dad would bring me along to camps with my Dad's Explorer Unit.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Once I was old enough I joined my local Beaver group and made so many new friends whom I would not have known if it weren't for scouting. As I grew older I was a Cubs and then a Scout and now an Explorer Scout. I have learnt new skills and expanded my knowledge of all things scouting. I am incredibly excited for the adventures to come in the next few years and beyond as I fundraise, meet other explorers who were also selected, attend training camps and information evenings.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Being part of the Jamboree is a huge commitment but I am ready and excited to dive right in!
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>The money I need to raise will help to cover my uniform, training camps, activities leading up to the event, travel. and the Jamboree in Poland itself!
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>I have a plentiful list of fundraising ideas and large group of family and friends to which I can turn to to help me fundraise. However I will be doing the majority of the work myself as it builds perseverance and problem solving skills. The fundraising is also a large part of the adventure to come and I cannot explain how excited I am.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>I would really appreciate your help - any donation, big or small will be gratefully received and help me on my journey to reach my goal.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Thank you so, so much for supporting me and helping me to make my dream come true!!!
</div>
<div><br />
