The 28th Scottish International Patrol Jamborette was held at Blair Castle, Blair Atholl, Perthshire, Scotland from Monday 15th July until Friday 26thJuly 2002.
There were 860 Scouts in camp, 430 from Scotland and 430 from other countries. The Scottish Scouts will offer home hospitality after the camp.
The camp was open to Scouts aged between 13 years and 16 years 11 months on 26th July 2002.
A Patrol should consist of not more than than 6 Scouts, including the Patrol Leader. The Scouts can be composed of Scouts from a single Troop, or from several troops. Patrols which include female Scouts are welcome and will be fully integrated into the Camp. An Association may send more than one Patrol. In this case Patrols may form a national contingent or they may travel independently. Each Patrol will camp with a Scottish Patrol. The two patrols will operate as one unit. The Scottish Patrol will provide tents and cooking equipment for both patrols.
There was an exciting programme of Scouting Activities. For activities this year see Activities at Blair Atholl 2002. And of course a real opportunity to make new friends.
For Scouts from out with Scotland, only personal camp equipment is required.
Other camping equipment will be provided by the Scottish Patrol.
The fee includes all food, activities, camp badge and neckerchief. For Scouts from out with Scotland it also includes the cost of travel from the camp to home hospitality and return to a central meeting place, in Scotland, to suit your travel plans.
To reduce other travel costs in Britain, arrangements may be made to purchase travel tickets at reduced rates. Further details will be sent to those booking places at the Jamborette. Transport will be provided to the Jamborette from Edinburgh, Glasgow or Aberdeen.
The number of adult leaders with each patrol should be limited to the minimum number necessary to supervise the travel. Leaders will not camp with their Patrols, but will be integrated into the camp staff.
Detailed Information will be sent to those booking places at the camp.
Overseas contingents at the camp were as follows
| Austria ( 2 contingents) | Canada (2 contingents) | Denmark | Germany (2 contingents) | Gibraltar Sea Scouts |
| Hong Kong | Ireland | Japan (2 contingents) | Kenya | Netherlands (2 contingents) |
| Norway (2 contingents) | Russia | Switzerland (2 contingents) | South Africa | USA (11 contingents) |
It is hoped to continue the tradition of holding the Blair Atholl Jamborette every two years, the next Jamborette being in July 2004.
