International friendship is not a one off experience just to be had at a Jamboree, it is a starting point for possible long term international friendships.

The combined contingent of the 9th & 18th Whitley Bay Scout groups first met up with the scouts of Nabeul, Tunisia at a Jamboree in Northumberland in 1995 since then they met at a further Jamboree in 1999, culminating with a joint camp and stay in Tunisia during 2001.  The Tunisian Scouts proved to be incredibly excellent hosts, and are a living example of what International friendship between scouts actually means.  We hope to build on our friendship when we camp together at WINGS2003 this summer.
