This year, NPL Water Rockets is supporting local scouts representing Richmond Borough at the 25 World Scout Jamboree. The World Scout Jamboree takes place every four years each time hosted by a different country. In Summer 2023, more than 40,000 Scouts from all over the world will gather in South Korea. The Jamboree is a skills, cultural and adventure festival this time with a theme of “Draw Your Dream”. As part of their Jamboree journey the scouts will have the opportunity to discover new cultures and take part in activities focusing on the environment, skills development and global development issues. The Jamboree will be the culmination of 18 months’ work for the young people. The Richmond scout contingent will be helping run the NPL Water Rockets event and will be the beneficiary of all entry fees.
Bushy Park Sports Club
The club is open to all and boasts impressive numbers of youth participants. If you are interested in joining the club either to play tennis, football, cricket, hockey, table tennis or even as a social member, ask at the Pavilion bar about membership.
