In total 30 members of 5<sup>th<\/sup> Dartford participated along with a number of family and friends, with those starting at Sutton-At-Hone 5.4km (3.4m to those at Sevenoaks Station covering 27km (17m) and taking just over 7 hours to complete the walk, all worthy of their hikers badge.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The District involvement of Jamboree on the Trail was started over 25 years ago with Andy Gray from Sutton-At-Hone devising the route to joining in the World wide event, as started by Canadian Scouts as it officially the first weekend when the mountain trails are clear of snow &amp; ice and they can get out and about again. With Andy retiring, the District Lead Volunteer presented Andy with a gift, thanking him for all his hard work and endeavours over the years, and passing the organisation over to Tom &amp; Vicky for future events.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft size-large wp-image-18429\" src=\"http:\/\/www.5thdartfordscouts.org.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/TrailJam26a-1024x678.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"584\" height=\"387\" srcset=\"http:\/\/www.5thdartfordscouts.org.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/TrailJam26a-1024x678.png 1024w, http:\/\/www.5thdartfordscouts.org.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/TrailJam26a-300x199.png 300w, http:\/\/www.5thdartfordscouts.org.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/TrailJam26a-768x508.png 768w, http:\/\/www.5thdartfordscouts.org.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/TrailJam26a-453x300.png 453w, http:\/\/www.5thdartfordscouts.org.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/TrailJam26a.png 1160w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 584px) 100vw, 584px\" \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>All sections of 5th Dartford Scout Group: Beavers, Cubs, Scouts, Explorers, Adult Volunteers and Family and Friends taking part in Dartford District organised event, Trail-Jam 3 &#8211; 2026.
