On
Saturday evening we were hosted to dinner by the High Commissioner for
Sri Lanka, His Excellency Admiral Thisara Samarasinghe, RSP, VSV, USP.
Kate Broekman, a Lone Venturer from NSW, who was a youth member with the
Australian Contingent to the Rajans International Scout Gathering of
Centennial Jamboree in Sri Lanka earlier this year, was the guest
speaker. Kate spoke very enthusiastically about her experiences at the
Jamboree "It was such a wonderful opportunity, I feel so honoured to
have been selected to receive this trip of a lifetime, 'Towards Youth
Leadership'. It was truly a life-changing experience; I loved every
second of it! Although language or culture may have been different, I
found that we all had something universal and something in
common…Scouting, which made us all the same, with a common bond,
something that went beyond the spoken word! "
