Four Scout leaders from Gwent represent UK at international event
Amy Bowman, a veterinary student from Cwmbran, Carys Curwood, a dog walker from Bishton, Ethan Macey, an environmental science student from Rogerstone, and Megan Sweet, an IT security student from Magor, are among 9,000 Scouts aged 18 to 25 from across the world in Portugal for the 16th World Scout Moot.
The adventure began in Tejo Park in Lisbon and will finish in Porto and throughout their time in the country, the Scouts will be immersing themselves in its communities and culture.
The theme for this year's event is 'engage' and the Scouts are encouraged to connect with others and their community through cross-cultural exchange, understanding, and friendship.
Chief Scout, Dwayne Fields said: "A massive good luck to Amy, Carys, Ethan and Megan and all the UK Scouts who are at the World Scout Moot.
"This is an amazing opportunity to discover yourself and the world around us, while exploring how you can create meaningful change.
"The true international spirit of Scouting will shine through, with so many chances to learn from other Scouts around the world.
"I know each UK Scout attending will grab the opportunity to create memories, friendships and skills to last a lifetime.'
