Taking the jamboree site by storm this morning, our enterprise zone was transformed into a petting zoo!

Filled with many amazing creatures, scouts and guides from across the world has the opportunity to experience these fantastic animals.

From ponies to snakes and even a tiny little tortoise 🐢, there was something for everybody. They even had farm animals such as sheep, goats, ponies, ducks, chickens, guinea pigs and even a giant rabbit!

Also present were Snakes Alive, an educational and fun company providing experiences of reptile handling since 1996. Their slithery friends were a big hit with participants young and old!

The petting zoo was definitely the place to be this morning, with queues snaking across the site. So if you enjoyed your experience here, maybe you could ask your leaders to book them for your meetings!
