I rise to acknowledge the 23 Scouts and seven leaders from the Central Coast who have taken part in this year's 25th World Scout Jamboree in South Korea. The World Scout Jamboree takes place every four years and is organised by the World Organization of the Scout Movement. The World Scout Jamboree is a spectacular event, bringing together Scouts and leaders from 154 countries. Scouts and venturers develop and learn new skills and experience new cultures, and—importantly—form friendships with other Scouts from participating countries. This year Australia sent 914 Scouts and leaders representing our country, with 388 coming from New South Wales.

I commend the following leaders, Rovers, and Scouts from Robertson who made the journey to South Korea for the 25th World Scout Jamboree: Janine Southall, Esme Rhodes, William Harcourt-Hayes, Rhiannon Jackson, Adam Jackson, Ken Broadhead, Rachael Degrassi, David Green, Christopher Mitchell, Singto Moser, Amelia Bromwich, Mia Clarke, Roche De Wet, Lottie Morello, Finlay Johnstone, Thomas McArdle, Isabel McArdle, Ben Hartlen, Oscar Rhodes, Lily Arendse, Nico Biala-Learmonth, Ryan Hill, Liam Clarke, Julie Munro, Toby Scurrah, Emma MacDonald, Edward Dehe, Peter Cross and Miles Parncutt. I'm sorry your time was cut short in South Korea due to severe weather events, but I do look forward to seeing you all back safe and sound on the Central Coast and to hearing of your experiences at the World Scout Jamboree.
