  2. Who took part... The UK Contingent • 174 young adults, aged 18 to 25 • 25 International Service Team, aged 26+ • 4 Contingent Management Team • The biggest UK Contingent to a Moot (we think!)

  3. Who took part... Other contingents • Over 80 different countries were represented • Contingent sizes ranged from 1 (Romania, Kenya) to about a million (Mexicans)! • Over 2,000 young adults took part • IST and support staff added another 500+

  4. What we did... UK Contingent preparations • First briefing weekend in October 2012 @ Gilwell Park • Second briefing weekend in April 2013 @ Bradley Wood • Active Facebook group • Newsletters and official communications

  5. What we did... UK Contingent pre-event • Separate pre-events for IST and participants (different dates) • All did Canadian Museum of Civilisation & Klip ‘n’ Climb • Choices of First Nations Island or maple syrup plantation visit • Choices of rafting, wildlife park or GPS challenge • Group meal before the start of the Moot

  6. What we did... The Moot itself • Opening ceremonies in Ottawa and then at Awacamenj Mino • Three days of activities on and around the camp-site • Two days on urban experience, linked with Shelterbox, etc • Cultural day for all on site, including First Nations ceremony Closing ceremony on site, all night party option!

  7. What we did... UK Contingent post-event • Toronto & Niagra Falls • Banff & The Rockies • White water rafting • Free time / independent travel

  8. How it went... The Practicalities • Some travel glitches – lost bags, missed flights, etc! • Some practical challenges on site – food distribution • A range of medical issues – we now love the NHS! • Full-on, but hugely rewarding!

  9. How it went... The Experience • Working with international patrols • A great inter-cultural day (not just cos we won the Moot Ashes) • Enjoying the Canadian wilderness • First Nations ceremonies, demonstrations and chats

  10. How it went... The Feedback • 89% of the contingent said the Moot gave them the chance to experience other cultures • 70% said they’d developed personally during the Moot • 93% would recommend Iceland 2017…

  11. Looking forward... Iceland 2017 • Organisers were on site in Canada and are already well underway with their planning • The dates are set (25 July to 2 August 2017) • We can start getting information out there now! • You tube clip online now – (and being shown at lunch) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QyApcGsGA0c

  12. Looking forward... Roverway 2016 • Taking place in France, possibly trans border paths and much more choice than previous years • Location is nearer to the UK –cost much less an issue • Open to the 16 to 22 age range • Date is set (18 to 29 July 2016)
