Treasure Quest P4
Making a splash!
by Jessica Lechmere The atmosphere is one that can be felt before you even get to the arena, with loud music pumping out of the speakers throughout and the coloured flags of the different teams waving in the air, you certainly know when you have arrived in the It’s a Knockout activity field. Stoneage Subcamp was
the first to experience the fun waiting for everyone on the It’s a Knockout course here at NORJAM 2014. There are a variety of interesting and exciting challenges to really put yourself to the test. As the entire Subcamp is escorted from their Subcamp gateway through the NORJAM 2014 site, the team leaders excite and motivate the crowds by
chanting “ogi ogi ogi” and “you say nor- I say jam” and the participants are ready to get going. In teams they enter the activity field with giant flags; the fun truly begins. The presenter brings the teams together, to get the activities under way. From jumping on bouncy castles to trying to catch flying colourful plastic balls, to gliding along a plastic

sheet on the back of giant inflatable sea creatures, everything is guaranteed to be a “Right good laugh”, exclaimed Niamh, 12. Rachel, 15, a Guide added “It’s really good fun despite the weather.” Rhianna,11 continued “It’s fun, even in the rain.” It’s clear to see that despite the downpour contestants were certainly in good spirits.

was soon forgotten as the activities absorbed the attention of all the It’s a Knockout challengers. “It may be cold, but after doing a couple of the challenges you soon get warm again!” Elliot, 14, enthused. Bonus points are awarded to the group who chant for their colour team the loudest, so be prepared for cheering on your team mates as loudly as you can
while they go through all the exciting challenges on offer! Everyone gets the chance to try several different challenges - “They all look like so much fun!” Tallulah, 10 from Royden informs us. So when it’s your turn to try It’s a Knockout, make sure you have plenty of enthusiasm and energy as you are certainly going to need it.

Norjamming in Norjamsley
by Rhiannon Boden If NORJAM 2014 is like a living, breathing city then Norjamsley is definitely the heart. An explosion of noise, colour and activity, it was packed to the rafters all day, proving popular with old and young alike! Glamorous photo opportunities abound, as campers could choose to strut down the red carpet and pose with their favourite celebrities everyone from Harry Styles to The Queen! However, the most popular by far was the authentic, straightfrom-the-60’s scooter, which people were queuing out of the door to take pictures of. As for activities, they
range between drama, dance, music and art – so there really is something for everyone! Henry, 12 from 29th Silkstan was one of many to try out the Indian Jaya Dancing, saying “I loved it, especially because, as well as dancing, I got to dress up!” Meanwhile, crowds of people were flocking to another kind of music, beat boxing this time, and it proved popular with boys and girls of all ages. Robin, aged 11 from Nelson Rural said “It’s fun and really cool! I mean, you get to play an instrument without using an instrument at all.” Laura, 17 and one of the Green Coats added “Yeah, it’s not just boys that know
how to get down!” Arts and Crafts had a distinctly hippie feel, with lots of kids getting into the 60’s swing. An entire table was given over to Pop Art and Paisley, as well as the tie-dying and customisation of very special neckers for friends and family. “It’s great!” said 11 year old Holly from 3rd Lexton, “I get to make my own things, and then give them to my brother when I get home!” Many others found that even if the bleach and felt was too crafty for them, they could still join in the fun by signing the giant duck that adorned the back wall. Drama and Mime was also a smash hit. Guides
and Scouts of all ages were asked to become bizarre characters like aliens and clueless tourists, and then take part in settings like lifts and park benches, where they didn’t quite belong. The results were indisputably hilarious.
Among the other things on offer were a parading Samba Band, a trail of secret and rather elusive ducks, and a replica of Doctor Who’s ‘The TARDIS.’ Unfortunately, the iconic time-machine did not actually work,
but that didn’t stop flocks of excited campers from trying! Also popular was the Norjamsley Legacy Project, a collection of film, photographs and artwork to be screened in Norfolk in October. “It’s all about what NORJAM means to us.”
“What’s the strangest thing you’ve brought to NORJAM?” Johnny, 15, Compound 28, Vikings
Alex, 10, Ridgeroom, Stoneage
“I brought a Horses Head Mask to wear around the campsite!”
“Woolly socks to keep my feet warm!”
Caitlin, 11, Baltimore, Tudors
“My Teddy Bear comes with me to every camp, even though it doesn’t have a name!”
Ryan, 12, 13th Dover, Vikings
Elisa, 16, 3rd Wingin Guides, Romans
Kyra, 12, 1st Eden Bridge, Middle Ages
“My Viking hat! I’m gonna wear it all week!”
“My pink wellies because it’s my favourite colour!”
“I have a sleeping bag with arm holes!”
Ollie, 13, 2nd Whitstable Sea Scouts, Tudors “It’s a bit strange, but I brought my calculator with me!”
Maddie, 10, 1st Eden Bridge, Middle Ages
“My friends are the strangest thing I brought because they are all mad!”

Journey through time
by Rhiannon Boden A whirlwind, whistlestop tour of history, Join in Jamboree is not just a group of activities, but an experience. Every Subcamp will be taken on a journey through time which will be told through awesome team-building activities and high energy quick fire games. At the end, every participant is presented with a very special badge, and Join in Jamboree’s leader hinted that there might be a few other surprises too! Each building offers something completely
different, with Tudor times favouring a potato theme, Viking’s opting for a chaotic game involving several lengths of tube and a tennis ball, and Stoneage keeping it primeval with the ever-classic fishing game. You will also be treated to a selection of authentic Victorian games like Hopscotch and Skittles, whilst the Middle Ages’ zone is dedicated to escaping the deathly plague. When asked to sum the day up in one word the participants were overwhelmingly positive. Kirsty, 13, said it was “electric!” Elizabeth, 12,
said it was “really fun”, and William, 11, said it was “exciting”. Despite the angry storm clouds the mood was sunny and bright, with Leaders and kids alike quickly getting into the treasure hunt spirit. Megan, 14, quickly chose the Roman game as her favourite, because “It involved a lot of teamwork, and we were all relying on each other.” 13 year old Sophie simply said she enjoyed the “mixing with other groups of people, and all working together.” Others were more abstract in their praise, with the day also being described
Day of the Girl
During the next couple of days if you have a spare moment, why not check out the Day of the Girl, Norwich, tent in the Market Place between the security tower and the food vendors. They are an association who focus on raising awareness of the issues facing girls both in the local area in Norfolk as well as throughout
the world. Not only do they make participants think of these issues, they also encourage the empowerment of girls through art, education and collaboration. They are here at NORJAM 2014 with a variety of activities, aimed both at girls and boys, which are available in their tent to encourage

as “swagtastic” by Megan, 14, and Luan, 11, said “blueballolba - it means brilliant.” Other highlights of the Join in Jamboree zone included the sheer exuberance and variety of teams involved. Giant inflatable pirate ships were paraded around, Leaders dressed as parrots were seen running through the tents, and the cheers and songs of the victorious could

be heard all across the site. “It’s just incredible,” said Kane, 13, with Scott, also 13, chiming in to add: “It’s sick - in a good way.” Clearly those involved have had an incredible, if competitive, time and have set the bar high for all the Subcamps yet to take part. Join in Jamboree is definitely a treasure trove of fun, the likes of which any true pirate would be jealous of!
NORJAM 2014 reminds you that everyone must wear their identification cards and lanyards at all times or you will be challenged. If you have yet to get your ID card, then visit the Admin office to collect it. If you’ve lost your pass, the Admin office will be able to print you a new card for a cost of £3 - the easiest way not to lose it is to keep it around your neck!

NORJAM welcomes Wayne Hunting for clues... by Bianca Cole
by Bianca Cole Invited guests often visit Jamborees and NORJAM 2014 is no exception. Wayne Bulpitt UK Chief Commissioner for Scouts joined a variety of guests as he visited the various Subcamps and venues around the site. Kieran, 17, from 8th Norwich Sea Scouts said “It was interesting to find out what Wayne does, when he
comes to events like this”. Amy, 23, from 46th Norwich revealed “I’ve met Wayne before, but it was nice to be able to chat to him about the work special needs groups do”. While travelling around the site Scouts and Guides were excited to see the UK Chief Commissioner on site. Adam, 21, from Vikings Subcamp said of Wayne’s visit “I was asked how I was finding the jamboree.
I was able to explain what Join in Jamboree was all about and how people get involved.” After meeting Leaders who are helping to keep NORJAM 2014 in full swing, Wayne caught up with some young people taking time out in the Soft Rock Café. Dan, 15, from 6th Selby Brayton explained “I spoke to Wayne about Young Leaders and milk shakes”.
Jack, 13, interjected “Wayne was really down to earth and easy to talk to”. Katie, 16, from 1st Gayton Rangers enthused “Wayne was really lovely and asked about the new friends me and Zoe had made”. After what was a soggy day, the presence of the UK Chief Commissioner for Scouts certainly brightened the spirits of all that met him.

Katherine Nash from BBC Radio Norfolk popped in to JAM FM yesterday as part of their on air challenge ‘Treasure Quest’. She was sent to NORJAM 2014 to find clue two of the day which was located in the JAM FM studio. Simulcasting live across both BBC Norfolk 95.1FM and JAM FM 107.2, Kayleigh, our very own JAM FM Presenter chatted with Katherine about NORJAM 2014 and the JAM FM broadcasts. Detailing how JAM FM has been getting on Kayleigh explained: “we’ve been getting to know people around the site”. The presenters then got down to business, the all-important opening of the envelope, opened live on air by Kayleigh. “It sounds like this water is labelled as being the boards property. Our only post war one holds memories of an earlier conflict.”
Katherine then popped outside to continue her quest. One of the NORJAM 2014 leaders pitched in, “Do we have a highlands in Norfolk?” After a brief discussion, it was decided this was going in the wrong direction. A sizable and excited crowd gathered outside the JAM FM studio to get a glimpse of the BBC Radio team who were here in their radio car which dons a retractable radio mast to broadcast from. Katherine, who also presents Look East, said on air: “David, there is so much going on here, it’s really exciting”. Jack, 12 from the Stoneage Subcamp added: “it’s really interesting to have a local personality on site at NORJAM 2014 it’s not often you get to see them live in the flesh.” NORJAM 2014 even inspired the Treasure Quest extra time question with The Quest Master, in which listeners were asked to phone in with their camping stories.

Keeping it running by Beth Fyfe
We caught up with another member of the NORJAM 2014 staff, Conor Evans, who is a member of the Site Services team. Q: So what exactly is Site Services? A: Site Services pretty much look after everything – we help with moving things, clearing rubbish, and stocking up the drinks at Flux and Camelot. For the opening ceremony last night we helped to move loads of benches and other stuff. We basically do whatever needs doing to help NORJAM 2014 run as smoothly as possible.
Q: What is your best Scouting memory?

Q: What’s it like being a member of staff at NORJAM 2014? A: It’s really great! Once you’ve finished your shift for the day you have loads of freedom – you can pretty much go anywhere and do whatever you like. The Site Services team is a really good laugh. It’s also really cool meeting other Scouting and Guiding leaders from outside my unit. Q: Are you involved with Scouting where you live? A: I was, but I’m actually sort of between units at the moment. Signing up to be staff at NORJAM 2014 has meant that I still get to enjoy some of the best stuff that Scouts has to offer.

Q: Why did you decide to join the Site Services team? A: I’ve worked at other Jamborees before and had a great time, and I really wanted to come to NORJAM 2014 because some of my Scouting friends
are here too. Joining the Site Services team meant I could come, and also meant that I got to meet a whole new bunch of people.

Party Like It’s 1,000,000 BC The Stoneage Street Party was a great chance for all the contingents to chat with one another and enjoy a wide range of food and drink. We took the opportunity to get to know our international contingents a little better and interviewed Cheyenne and Tara, both 15, from 1st Gibsons Venture Scouts in Canada. Their journey to NORJAM 2014 took over 24 hours and included travelling by ferry, sky train, plane and bus. We wonder if any other contingents used more different methods of
transport to get here? After a night’s sleep at the Alec Bussey Centre they arrived at NORJAM 2014 to find that their buddy group, Victory Explorer Scouts, had pitched all their tents and even bought all the food, ready for the week ahead. Their leader Mike explained: “after looking online at the selection of Jamborees in the UK, we decided that this one looked like the best”. Today we welcome Cubs and Brownies to the Subcamp whilst our contingents have their days out, so we look forward to introducing younger
cavemen and women to the ways of the Stoneage and giving them a taste of what Norjam has to offer. Tonight at 7pm we have the inaugural “Caveman Olympics” and we hope to see you all taking part and doing yourselves proud, whatever the weather! Finally don’t forget to “like” us on Facebook by searching Stoneage NORJAM2014 and tweet us your photos using #Stoneage. We’re sure you will all have a brilliant time at Norjam 2014 and we hope to welcome you soon to the Subcamp that really rocks!

Sunday saw the Stoneage Subcamp brave the weather to head over for a morning of fun and games with the It’s a Knockout team. A particular favourite was the Space Hopper race where Leaders were given the chance to soak the Guides and Scouts as they bounced around an obstacle course. The afternoon provided an opportunity for the contingents to show off their creativity as they
headed to the Craft Barns. We saw a fantastic array of handmade items including woggles and keyrings and everyone definitely enjoyed spending time in the dry! Unfortunately our gateway took a battering in the storm and had to remodelled but we haven’t lost our Stoneage spirit and we still have a whole range of activities on the Subcamp for everyone to take part in.

History Lessons
Yesterday started out wet, but by the looks of your faces, it was worth it. When you were out enjoying yourselves, we took the opportunity to investigate the Subcamp and we must say that we are thoroughly pleased with your gateways - you all should be very proud. We have also inspected your shields and your effort is clearly evident; Her Majesty will have a tough time deciding on which to give her seal of approval.
They were put up by the Subcamp staff members and the end result is spectacular! Watch out for the Headmaster and his cane today; the school room will be housing activities for the Brownies and Cub Scouts today. We hope that they can experience as much of NORJAM 2014 as possible. They will be partaking in a variety of activities: searching through Mrs. Miggin’s Pies courtesy of Sweeney Todd, finger
printing with Sherlock Holmes, woggle making and exploring the sewers! We will be running some of these activities in the evening so make sure you come along and have a go. Please do not hesitate to ask for assistance from the Victorian staff members, they will be wearing purple kneckers with red borders or festive costumes. Send all pictures, stories or news to Eloise Rose, Alex Kearns or Will Parker before 2pm each day.
Celebrating Our Tudors
Tudor Subcamp have had a great couple of days here at NORJAM 2014 so far and we are really enjoying getting to know you and spending time with you. When we were visiting groups today we found out that 1st Rural Roughton Mill Scouts have made an awesome banner designed by Liam, one of their scouts and all the rest of the scouts pitched in with making it! We also wanted to say a big well done to Alice, Douglas and Bethan from 19th Crosby Sea Scouts for raising the flags at the opening ceremony
Written by Megan Bowen, Meg Hoare, James Hobbs
and congratulations to Reece from Fareham West Explorers on his investiture just before the Ceremony. We will be wandering the Subcamp, chatting and just generally being friendly and nosey so if there is a camp gossip then we would love to know and we may even put some really juicy gossip in the next issue of The Norticle. Our Subcamp Leader and his wife are celebrating their coral wedding anniversary. We want as many people as possible to help us celebrate this day and find out how many years that is.

The Black Laughter
The first case of ‘NORJAM 2014 Plague’ has been spotted, and confirmed. ‘Infected’ individuals should report to the Middle Ages Subcamp HQ for ‘treatment’ as soon as possible. People should
remember that the plague is highly contagious, and symptoms can include: having too much fun, laughter, smiling, as well as having lots of energy! We urge those infected to report as soon as possible.
We at the Middle Ages HQ will monitor the ‘situation’ and give you an update on the spread of the “NORJAM 2014 Plague” as soon as we can. Let’s see how far we can get it to spread!

Despite the pouring rain and strong winds, all of the contingent shields are now installed on our Subcamp gateway, with some installed in the keep and around our Subcamp area. It’s great to see all of the colours, and designs from around the country, and even some from around the world! We think it’s fair to say that the gate looks

Written by Natalie Gibbings
Viking Kidnappings
We all hope that you had loads of fun yesterday on Vikings Subcamp at Join in Jamboree and the Activity Fields. We had a visit from some parrots who whisked our participants away for a huge range of activities. Our Chief Viking may have held them captive with a cup of tea as well. Do you think they make good Vikings? You have got so much to look forward to today, for those of you lucky enough there is Camp in Camp, along with Pick and Mix activities and a visit from the Cubs and Brownies.
Yesterday you may have seen Chloe from Athena Rangers walking around in the kangaroo boots, but you might have been lucky if you missed her as she’s been making puns all camp (33 so far!). Turns out Vikings are rather good at historical games, we won Roman skiing and our very own Viking gutterball. Becky, Jess and Amy from XESU won the skiing with brilliant teamwork whilst 3rd and 4th Norwich Sea Scouts seemed to think that big heads, big brains and long legs is the secret
to gutterball. Our roving Media Viking Alex caught up with Sheringham Guides, 1st Wicklewood Guides and 33rd Norwich Scouts, they thought the best part of Join in Jamboree was the skiing. 7th Kings Lynn thought the best part was the potatoes, we’ll have to let you decide for yourselves. Did any of you manage to catch the Athena Rangers on JAM FM yesterday? It was fantastic to have members of the Subcamp live on the radio. How many more of you can make an appearance on JAM FM?

Gods Walk Among Us Written by Simon Daley and Emma Hubbard
On a brighter side to Roman life, we were very lucky today to be able to have a senior Roman God walk in our presence. Three Scouts: Georgia Golby, Alex Whitam and Jack Seaman from the 1st Harleston Scout Troop in Norfolk were yesterday presented with their Chief Scout Gold Award. The Scouts were presented with these awards by the UK Chief Scout Commissioner, Wayne Bullpitt. In order to achieve the highest award in Scouts, they have had to put in a lot of hard work so congratulations to all three
from the Roman Subcamp empire. The Subcamp team have been busy preparing Rome ready for you all to come and join in the Pick ‘n’ mix activities today. Like all good Roman Centurions would have done it might be worth doing some warm up maneuvers before you venture over to our activity area: you never know what we might have up our toga cuffs! With an already jampacked week, Rome is the place to be this week with activities going on throughout the week for
everyone. Come and join us in the evenings as well to enjoy Roman themed ‘artificia and operationes’. Within the surroundings of Ancient Rome, the evening activities are a great way to meet new friends and relax. Are you ready and prepped for battle? Are you ready to stake your dignity? Are your chariots battle worthy? If they are, come and sign up at the Subcamp office for the races of all races. Who will reign victorious? Who will be fed to the lions? There can only be one winner. Hail Ceaser… Salad!

A cup full of ‘Nor’, a spoonful of ‘Jam’ and a whole chalice load of fun
Roman legions were up bright and early with the smell of blackbirds and fried eggs filling the Subcamp air yesterday. Our first invasion as a Subcamp here at NORJAM 2014 was to Norjamsley where we were found mixing with the rich and famous; and obviously the star of the show was the one and only Mr Harry Styles. We were also able to time travel with our good friend the Doctor and experience for ourselves the inside of the TARDIS; flashing lights and all. Roman Centurions were turning their hand to all sorts of fun and fantastic activities from throughout the ages. Hopefully, whilst in there you all took the time to enjoy the beat boxing workshop; this will help you prepare for the Roman Cantus which we are sure you all know off by heart! Romans could also be found strutting their funky stuff to the sounds of the
drums whilst others were having fun learning how to bell ring. Other Roman Centurions were seen singing their hearts out on the ‘N2’ stage performing a piece they had prepared especially for the Jamboree. Unfortunately as the day progressed, Jupiter let us down with only a little, well a big little, bit of rain. Hopefully as the week progresses the Roman Gods and Godess’s will shine down on us. In order for this to happen you need to remember to come along and bring your offerings to the Gods. We can safely say as Roman Gods, chocolate cake and milky bar buttons are widely accepted (those who bring offerings will be rewarded). Our first offering happened last night and conveniently for us it was to Jupiter; hopefully he accepted your offerings with gratitude and will try to sort out the weather!
