The 22nd World Scout Jamboree is officially closed! The Jamboree ended with a spectacular Closing Ceremony on the theme Solidarity. The Ceremony took place on the new stage, with views from every side.
The hosts were just as excited as the audience even though the sky started to open up, just a few minutes into the Ceremony.
The rain didn’t stop anyone though. 40 061 dancing scouts together with Daniel Lemma, Sanna Nielsen, Kate Ryan and Europe made sure that the 22nd World Scout Jamboree ended with a bang! Besides singing and dancing, the show contained speeches from H.M. the King of Sweden and the camp chiefs Marie Reinecke and Göran Hägerdal, together with Luc Panissod from the World Organisation of the Scout Movement.
The ceremony, and the 22nd World Scout Jamboree, ended with fantastic musical fireworks and the flag handed over to Japan, host of the 23rd World Scout Jamboree 2015.
You can still watch the show via Bambuser.

During the closing ceremony, I couldn’t stop crying, under that rain… Thank you all. This was the best experience of my life. I wish I could have made it last forever.
I want to ask what are the activities carried out so far?
hey! by the closing ceremony video at min 12:30 is played a song… can someone of you tell me the name?
Congrats! Fantastic job! to the organizers of the 22nd World jamboree. I followed the activities from home and saw that I missed a once in a lifetime opportunity. To all the scouts/contingents and especially those from Trinidad and Tobago I know you will cherish that experience forever.

Hello!!
I am hoping that someone will receive this message and read it… I’m hoping it’s not too late!!
I would like to thank the whole team for making the 22nd World Scout Jamboree such an amazing experience for everyone. But mostly, I am sure that I speak on behalf of many parents, friends and relatives of the Participants, I would like to say a very BIG thank you for all the wonderful coverage you have provided on your website… From the webcams which we have all been glued to, the Jamboree radio team, the wonderful ‘Jam N’ team who have had us all hooked hoping to get a glimpse of our sons/daughters the Bambuser team who did a fantastic job of trying to involve us all in all the ceremonies…
I have also loved the commentary that has accompanied the live broadcasts on your ‘live’ page on the website – especially the funny comments made by Anders Frick and the team!! And of course all of the updated information and photos throughout the rest of the site.
So there it is!! I just wanted to show my appreciation – with your help we have been able to share in this wonderful experience so thank you again.
Nicky from Thetford, Norfolk UK

Grateful parent from Slovenia.
Tusen tack Sverige för ett fantastiskt jobb – thank you Sweden for a job truly well done! This jam will surely be one of those things our scouts will cherish for a long, long time to come – as do we parents, as well. We might expect much more mature children back home, as this has evidently made a change in them. Välkommen hem Spinno!
