Ruby’s thanks after Scout trip to Japan
YALDING Scout Ruby Haigh has said a big thank you to all the sup- porters who enabled her to spend threeweeks travelling in Japan. Ruby (14), from Vicarage Road,
was one of 108 Scouts and Guides from Kent and East Sussex chosen to represent the UK in the 23rd World Scout Jamboree in Kirara-hama. Of the 4,000 youngsters whowent
from the UK, other locals included Nicole Finch from Marden, who at- tends Invicta Grammar School; Charlie Arthur and Robert Latch- ford, both from Marden; MidKent College student Ollie Knight; and Kings Hill’sDomPhipps and Emilie Tenbroek. A member of the Yalding Beult
Scout troop, Ruby had to find £2,500 to finance the trip and spent a busy few months bag-packing at a super- market and holding fund-raising events in and around the village, as well as at Maidstone Girls’Grammar School, where she is a student. Ruby was a member of the “Rolling Scones” unit, which visited Japanese families, sampling their

way of life as well as their food and customs. One highlight was going cor- morant fishing; a downsidewas the extreme heat – mid 30s – and 95% humidity. During the 12 days of the Jam-
boree in Yamaguchi City, Ruby en- joyed many camp-based activities, including concerts and cooking, sampling food from around the world. She also got to travel on one of the country’s high-speed bullet trains and visited Hiroshima just a few days before the 70th anniversary of the first atomic bomb being
dropped. Each unit hadmadeorigami peace cranes, whichwere left at the site as a mark of respect to those who lost their lives in the atrocity. Following the camp, where many
newfriendshipswere made, the unit travelled to the capital city of Tokyo where Ruby visited the Sky Tree Tower and other famous landmarks. She said: “I was really proud to represent Yalding, Kent and UK Scouts and I know I could not have enjoyed this amazing trip without the generous support I have had from so many people in and around Yalding.”
