23rd
World Scout
Jamboree
in YAMAGUCHI Kirara-hama
Bulletin #03
October 2013
Welcome
What is the Bulletin?
from
In the run-up to the Jamboree, we will
be publishing Bulletins, as the main
channel of communication, in order to
provide National Scout Organizations
(NSOs) and their Contingents with
information to prepare for the 23rd
World Scout Jamboree. The Bulletins will
be distributed through SCOUTPAK of the
World Scout Bureau to all NSOs.
Minoru Nishimura
Chairman, 23WSJ Committee and
Senior Executive Director, SAJ
Dear Scouters,
The registration for the 23rd World Scout Jamboree
(23WSJ) is about to begin, and we are proceeding
with the preparations to welcome as many Scouts as
possible from all NSOs around the world.
This summer, we have hosted the 30th Asia-Pacific
Regional Scout Jamboree (16th Nippon Jamboree) as
the Pre-Jamboree for 23WSJ with 14,000 participants
from 53 countries and territories. We have set a
number of aims and objectives for this Jamboree,
and have had an opportunity to share opinions with
the Contingent members at the Head of Contingents
meeting and on other occasions. By doing this, we
developed a list of key issues to work on in preparation
for 2015. “Learning by doing” is one of the 7 elements
of the Scout Method, developing as a result of firsthand experience, and this was exactly what we had
hoped to achieve from the pre-Jamboree.
I can assure you that we will proceed with even
greater energy and enthusiasm with the preparation
of the Jamboree toward 2015 to welcome Scouts
from around the world. I sincerely hope that many
Scouts as well as their Leaders will join us in 2015.
Details of preparation may vary among
NSOs, therefore, any individual reading
this document must confirm the detail
with his/her NSO and use the Bulletin as
secondary information.

recommend that you consider arriving at Tokyo

connecting flight to Yamaguchi Ube Airport,

Shipping items to the Jamboree
Contingents can send their equipment in
advance. There are various ways in which you
can send items. We recommend you to use
pallets or containers by sea or air. Each pallet
needs to be wrapped in plastic covers as it will
be stored outdoors. Pallets and containers will be
stored within the Jamboree site, and depending
on the location of their campsites, some
Contingents may be required to carry their items
for a considerable distance.

creating peace in the world.
Faith and Beliefs

was held in the morning, where participants
participated in a ceremony according to their

for world peace.
Arena Event

a variety of cultural exploration activities. Many
Contingents have given a performance on the

Sub Camp Life
Life at Sub Camp comprised a large part of the
Jamboree programme. Participants shared their
experience with other members in the Unit or

Plan your travel for the Jamboree
When you are working on travel plans for your
Contingent, you will need to keep in mind about
Japanese holiday season.
In the middle of August, most Japanese people
take a week’s holiday with their families. Around
this time, transport such as flights, train and
highway will be crowded and prices will be higher.
Usually, this period starts around the 10th of
August and finishes around the 15th of August.
Affordable Japan
You might have an impression that travelling in
Japan is expensive. However there are various
ways that you can make the most of your travel
at an affordable cost.
Enjoying Tempura
It would be a better idea to participate at Home
Hospitality programme or go sightseeing before
the Jamboree and leave Japan immediately after
the Jamboree if you wish to avoid the crowds.
Tempura (battered and deep fried vegetables or
seafood) is a famous cuisine in Japan, but can
be expensive if you eat at Tempura restaurant.
However, tempura is often served with noodles
such as Udon and Soba, and it would be cheaper
to eat Tempura Udon or Tempura Soba. You will
find many Soba stands at train stations, a fast
food in Japan.
Proposed travel plan 1:
Enjoying Sushi
Simple option
Arrive at Fukuoka Airport on 28th of July.
Transport to Jamboree site by bus, and check in.
Once the Jamboree is over, leave the Jamboree
site on Saturday, 8th of August to Fukuoka
Airport, and leave Japan. This plan does not
require any additional cost for inland travel.
Proposed travel plan 2:
HoHo around Tokyo
Arrive at Tokyo Haneda International Airport or
Narita International Airport on 25th of August,
and stay at a hotel for the night. On the next
day, visit the family with whom participants are
staying and go sightseeing in Tokyo. Assemble at
Tokyo International Airport on 28th of July, and
leave for Yamaguchi Ube Airport, from where you
will be taken to the Jamboree site by bus. Once
Jamboree is over, leave the Jamboree site on
8th of August and take a plane back home. (This
plan requires additional cost for inland travel
between airport and host family, and hotel.)
Proposed travel plan 3:
Sightseeing around Fukuoka
Arrive at Fukuoka Airport on 26th of July.
Spend 2 days in Fukuoka, and leave for ShinYamaguchi Station on 28th July by train, and
arrive at Jamboree site by bus. Once Jamboree
is over, leave the Jamboree site on 8th of August
and take a plane back home. This plan requires
additional cost and arrangement by Contingents.
23rd
e WORLD SCOUT JAMBOREE SCOUT MONDIAL
You can enjoy sushi at Kaitenzushi (Sushi brought
on the conveyor belt) at relatively cheaper cost.
If you want to eat at a Sushi restaurant, you
should visit at lunch time. At the coastal towns,
you will find really fresh sushi at reasonable
prices (approx. JPY 1,000).
Rail pass
If you visit a big city like Tokyo, you can use a
discount ticket. There are a few types such as
one for Japan Railways, Tokyo Metro (Subway),
bus and so on. Public transport system are well
developed in many cities in Japan. Also, there is a
Japan Rail Pass, which is a rail pass for overseas
visitors that can be used for travel on major forms
of transportation provided by the Japan Railways
Group in Japan. Japan Rail Passes can only be
purchased outside Japan through a travel agency.
Visiting shrines and temples
Many shrines and temples in cities such as Tokyo
and Kyoto do not require admission fees.
Drinking water
It is safe to drink tap water in Japan. You can
make use of a canteen if you wish. Tap water that
is not suitable for drinking will be indicated.
Capsule hotel
For IST members, you should try staying at a lowcost hotel called a Capsule hotel. You will only have
a limited space, but it will be like staying in a tent.
You will find many capsule hotels in big cities like
Tokyo, Kyoto, Osaka, Fukuoka, and in some places
you will have access to comic books and DVDs.

Contingents’ contribution
to the programme
At the 23rd World Scout Jamboree, Contingents can
make a contribution to the Jamboree programme
in various ways.

activities will be planned by the Jamboree
Organisation, but we will welcome the programme
