Racing, Relaxing & Ready to Party- Day 6
The jamboree spirit is unstoppable! From the moment Espresso Roo Café opened its doors at 5am, early risers were already up and about, fuelling themselves for a massive day ahead. Breakfast was buzzing across the subcamps as Guides gathered in their dining halls, swapping plans and excitement for what lay ahead. By 9.00am, the whole site stood together for Colours, waving flags high and singing loud the perfect way to launch into another day full of adventure.
For the 10–13s, today was all about stepping beyond the jamboree gates with the Race Around Murwillumbah! Patrols scattered into town, clipboards in hand and teamwork in full swing, tackling puzzles, challenges, and mini adventures at every stop. The streets were filled with laughter and cheers as Guides worked together to complete tasks, make discoveries, and collect clues. Knox Park was the heart of it all buzzing with activity as patrols regrouped for lunch, shared funny stories, and celebrated their wins before racing off again. By the time they returned to camp in the afternoon, patrols were glowing with pride (and maybe a little sun-kissed!) after such a huge adventure.
Back on site, the Marketplace was once again alive with colour and chatter. Swaps, souvenirs, and badge trading kept spirits high, with Guides ducking between stalls to find treasures or reconnect with new friends made earlier in the week. The energy only grew as the seniors began arriving back from their expeditions. Their return was nothing short of electric hugs, cheers, and animated retellings filled the air as they swapped stories of challenges faced and moments conquered. The campsite felt even fuller, warmer, and more alive with them back in the mix.
As the day wound down, attention turned to dinner, with Guides recharging and regrouping before what was set to be a highlight of jamboree so far: the Beach Party & DJ Night! As the sun dipped, the music rose. Neon lights and pumping beats filled the air, transforming camp into a seaside dance floor. Patrols joined together, laughing, singing, and dancing under the night sky some going all out with dance moves, others just enjoying the moment shoulder to shoulder with friends. The beach party was more than just an evening activity; it was a celebration of everything jamboree is about joy, connection, and unforgettable memories.
Patrols soon made their way back to subcamps, still buzzing with the energy of the dance floor. Some carried glow sticks and souvenirs, others carried stories they’ll tell for years. Day 6 ended the way Jamboree days always seem to: with a full heart, tired feet, and the kind of happiness that only comes from being surrounded by friends and adventure.
“I am having an incredible time and unforgettable memories ”
And with even more excitement waiting just around the corner, tomorrow promises to take the Jamboree journey to new heights. Stay tuned the best is still to come!
