Dear Brother and Sister Scouts and Scouting Friends:

Greetings from the Asia-Pacific Support Centre!

In a little more than three months from now, some 6,000 Scouts from all around the world will gather at Nairamdal International Children’s Complex in Ulaanbaatar, Mongolia for the 31st Asia Pacific Regional Scout Jamboree. The theme for the Jamboree is “Go Nomads” and that is exactly what Scouts can expect to experience at this once-in-a life time event.

The Jamboree is also an occasion for leaders of National Scout Organizations to meet, renew old friendship, share ideas and form partnerships to support the future development of our Movement.

On behalf of the World Organization of the Scout Movement, we wish to convey our sincere appreciation to The Scout Association of Mongolia. They have assumed the monumental challenge of organizing the Jamboree, and we wish them every success for the months ahead.

This and so much, much more – awaits our Scouts and Leaders at the 31st Asia Pacific Regional Scout Jamboree… don’t miss this incredible and once in a lifetime event!

We look forward to meeting you in Mongolia this year and wish you all the very best with your on-going preparations for the Jamboree.
