Every two years since 1946, the Scottish Council of the UK Scout Association has held a unique Scout encampment on the grounds of Blair Castle in Perthshire, Scotland. The Blair Atholl Jamborette is made up of international patrols of Scouts - each consisting of half Scottish Scouts and Scouts from overseas. The Scouts function as a patrol during the ten days of the Jamborette, and then each of the international Scouts spends up to a week in the home of a Scottish Scout.
I took a troop here in 2000. Amazing time. The dads got to hang out in London while the boys were visiting with the British Scouts.
Purely ceremonial “army” used for tourist attractions. Anyone in the U.K. could set up essentially the same thing tomorrow.
