21st Australian Jamboree
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The 21st Australian Jamboree, or more commonly known as AJ2007 was an Australian Scout Jamboree held in Elmore, Victoria in 2007.
AJ2007 was held from the 2nd to the 12th of January, 2007 on the Elmore Field Days site. Over 12,000 people from Australia and 30 other countries attended AJ2007,[1] 8,500 of which were scouts.
AJ2007 featured four off-site activities (Wet Wild & Windy, Riverforce, Bushwacked, Ready Set Bendigo) and on-site activities, including Venture Extreme, X²-Site, Planet Blitz, Rocksportz, a radio station called Roadkill FM and Sky High, where scouts could experience a joy flight over the Jamboree site, Elmore and Rochester.
Clean up of the site involved removing 200 tonnes of rubbish, dismantling 16,000 square meters of marquee, and removing 208 portable buildings on site, including toilets. It was expected to take a fortnight using 50 volunteers.[2] The scouts had already taken down their own tents and troop facilities.
