We are Will and Matthew and we have both been selected to attend the 25th World Scout Jamboree this summer - Matthew with Unit 81 (Gloucestershire) and Will with Unit 1 (British Scouting Overseas).

The jamboree will take place in SaeManGeum in South Korea and will be a once in a lifetime opportunity - we are looking forward to the chance to travel to somewhere totally different, try new experiences and to take part in a range of activities and adventures alongside 50,000 Scouts from around the world.

We have each had to raise about £4,000 to attend the World Scout Jamboree, covering travel, accommodation and equipment for the trip. We have been working hard to reach our targets, and now only have a few hundred pounds left to raise - please help us by buying some balloons and have some fun along the way. We will split the proceeds equally, and should we be lucky enough to raise more than our targets then this money will go towards Unit funds for activities while we are in Seoul and travelling around Korea.

You could be in with a chance of winning one of the fantastic prizes, whilst also supporting our trip to Korea - it's a win-win!

We will be taking part in a national race, competing against each other and other schools and charities. Star Prizes for all causes joining the race are:
* 1st Prize - £100 cash
* 2nd Prize - Amazon Alexa / Echo Dot 4th Generation!

* In addition to the above prizes, the winning balloon bought for our cause through this page will win a Dyson Cyclone v10 Animal hand-held vacuum cleaner! *

[The winner must be able to arrange collection from the Malmesbury area, otherwise the prize will be offered to the next placed balloon. No cash alternatives will be offered]


This race is a great, fun way to support our fundraising. You’ll be competing against balloons from across the country, flying for different causes. This fun interactive and eco-friendly event is great for children and adults alike, and each balloon costs just £3! Simply create your balloon using different designs and colours and follow its journey through the skies over the 7 days race.

Why not invite friends and family to join in as well? You can even purchase a balloon as a gift with the easy gift activation codes. There is no limit to the number of balloons you can buy, and every balloon will make a difference to our fundraising.

Our fundraising target is: £500

Gross monies raised so far: £207

Supporters so far: 22
