Noa is the spark that ignites the friendship, laughter and excitement among everyone at the Essex International Jamboree (EIJ), you will find them in the heart of our EIJ logo and you will spot Noa all around the event site. Peggy is our magnificent mascot who loves to travel around visiting groups before the event, but she has another important role. Peggy will be the first peg on site as build week begins!
We are very proud of our EIJ brand. We work hard to retain and protect our identity that we have worked hard to create.
We ask that you do not use our full logo or subcamp logos on any clothing, banners etc. If you wish to have clothing with official branding please order from our suppliers, each purchase helps to contribute to funding the event.
You can download high resolution images of Noa and Peggy that can be used and you can use the event name and Subcamp names.

Now we've got the serious bit over, let's get to some fun!
We are encouraging groups to be creative with the Noa and Peggy images by making their own designs for extra clothing, banners and gateways. All we ask is that you keep the original colours (of Peggy and Noa) or use them all in black or all in white.
Noa's Trail
We want to have Noa’s trail at the jamboree so we are encouraging groups to bring along their own Noa, be creative. It could be a model made from wood, plastic or cardboard or a flag or other fabric ideas. Could you make one from recycled items?
Let's get swapping
A fun part of being at any large camp is to swap small items with your newfound friends. This year, we are suggesting that you make your own Peggy pegs, they can be made from wooden tent pegs or from traditional or modern clothes pegs. Perhaps they can have their own group scarf or other outfit or just have your unit name on them. It’s up to you! Bring your Peggies along and swap with other groups, it’s a great way to get talking to other participants!
You could also take part in our Random Acts of Kindness initiative, click here to read all about it.
