Jacob Wood at the World Scout Moot

This summer, I had the amazing opportunity to attend the World Scout Moot held in Portugal as part of Path 87, as part of the UK Contingent. 

The Moot brought together thousands of Scouts and leaders from across the world for a week of adventure, friendship, and learning. Travelling on Path 87 gave me the chance to meet people from many different countries, share experiences, and take part in activities that challenged me in new ways – from outdoor adventures to cultural exchanges and discussions about Scouting’s impact on our communities.

Being part of the Moot was a truly unforgettable experience. It was inspiring to see how Scouting brings people together, no matter where they come from. I’ve returned home with new skills, memories, and friendships that will last a lifetime – and I’m excited to bring that energy back into my Scouting here.
