DS 13 has recently started scouts and loves it. Has come hogwarts with info re international Jamboree in uS 2019 and he wants to go. There's an assessment weekend later this year. I appreciate it's a competitive process but does anyone know what sort of things they assess on.

I remember someone saying that when she went on an assessment weekend for a previous one, they were looking at things like how open they were to other cultures - including things like trying unusual foods (of course, that could be because that trip was to Japan, where they might well come across foods they didn't know). I don't know what else, but I remember that one, because I was thinking how I'd have failed on it at that age, even if I was otherwise OK with different environments!
