A SCOUT volunteer from Wrexham is set to take to the world stage in South Korea next year.

Sarah Harrison has been selected to play a key role in delivering skills for life at the World Scout Jamboree.

The International Service Team (IST) is essential in providing young people from across the world skills for life.

Sarah, 51, is one of those 950 adult volunteers who have been selected to represent the UK and help deliver next year’s World Scout Jamboree, as part of the IST.

The Jamboree will see 50,000 young people come together for a skills, cultural and adventure festival in the sensational and scenic South Korea.

In the summer of 2023, Sarah will be part of a multinational team of adults who are volunteering to spend their summer holiday helping young people have an adventure of a lifetime.

Sarah said: “I’m delighted to have been selected to represent Wales and the UK as an IST member. Scouting helped me through depression and with regaining my self-confidence and am looking forward to sharing my huge international adventure with youth members in my district on my return.”

UK Chief Scout Bear Grylls, said: “Congratulations to Sarah and all the other adult volunteers who have been selected to support this adventure! World Scout Jamborees only happen every four years and tens of thousands of Scouts from across the world attend each one.

"Young people could not take part in these life changing events without the support of adult volunteers like Sarah."
