Eleven Manx Scouts leave the Island this morning (Wed) destined for the World Scout Jamboree.
Held every four years, the 2007 event is being hosted by England, at Hylands Park in Essex.
Ten Explorer scouts - aged between 14 and 18 - will be joined by Leader, Julian Ashworth, and will spend almost two weeks camping along with forty thousand others from around the world.
