Jack said: “Around 40,000 Scouts from all over the World will be attending the Jamboree and we’re both really excited to have been chosen to go. We’re going to be spending the next few months fundraising for the trip with lots of different activities.”
Chloe added: “The Scouts are really important because they bring people from all different backgrounds together; it doesn’t matter where you’re from or who your friends are, you can all take part together.”
Jodi and Philip Stanley, Chloe’s parents, said: “We are very proud of Chloe’s achievement of being selected to represent West Yorkshire Scouts at the 25th World Scout Jamboree in 2023.
