The
40th annual Scout Camporee of the Sri Lanka Scout Association, Colombo
District Branch, was held from August 19 to 23 at the Vihara Maha
Devi Park in Colombo.
What

is an annual camp, where thousands of Scouts in Colombo, camp together”.
“Beyond
the façade lie a world of adventure, friendships, excitement,
and a multitude of learning experiences.
