Hello Scouts and Scouters,
(especially those coming to the 18th World Jamboree in Holland).


I have had some requests for more information on the programme
of the World Jamboree in Holland in August 1995. I hope you can
understand that it is very hard to get a detailed description of
all programme-activities that we'll have On-Site and Off-Site
during those 10 days. The organisation needed a 'planning-board'
of 6 metres to expose ALL separarte units of the organisation.
But for those who are hungrily seeking information, I've typed
a list of Groups, Teams and (some) Units that are planning an
activity. Although the contents of some activities is not always
clear to me, it gives an overview of what one can do. A lot of
the mentioned activities will be 'ticket-activities'. Which means
that you can only do them when you have one of the (limited
number of) tickets. Walk-in activities, of course, require no
ticket, and are also open for visitors. The theme of the World
Jamboree is: "The future is now".
(All the comments between brackets are according to my own
information and interpretation, which could be out of date, of
course.....).

The format of the list is:
Group-name
     Team-name      (Comments)
          Unit-name (Comments)
