Hi everyone,

My name is Hayden, I’m 16 years old, and I’ve been selected to represent the Ashford, Kent District at the World Scout Jamboree in Poland next summer! It is a massive honour and a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to join tens of thousands of young people from all over the world to celebrate international friendship and experience different cultures.

This trip means a lot to me because the skills I'll learn will really shape my future. I’m deeply passionate about scouting and plan to become a Scout Leader when I turn 18, as well as volunteer with the Duke of Edinburgh’s Award to help other kids build their confidence. Beyond scouting, my dream is to become an Aerospace Engineer. I love astrophysics and science, and the leadership and teamwork skills I gain at the Jamboree will give me a great foundation for that career.

To get there, I need to raise £3,600 to cover my training, equipment, and travel. I’m working hard to fundraise and would be incredibly grateful for any support, whether it's a small donation, sharing this page, or a local business sponsorship. I’m more than happy to chat on the phone or in person if you’d like to know more about how sponsorship works.

Thank you so much for your kindness and support!

Hayden
