As the 70th anniversary of the terrible events of the Hiroshima bombing approaches, Scouts from all over the world are getting the chance to pay their respects. Every day 100 coaches leave the Jamboree site at 6am heading for the memorial park. Scouts are given the opportunity to try traditional calligraphy handwriting as well as trying their hand at origami, creating peace cranes. These cranes, along with any that the scouts have made themselves at home, are offered to the memorial of Sadako Sasaki, the young girl who died of leukemia after being exposed to the radiation. They are then taken on a tour of the peace park by local Japanese tour guides who set the scene of what it would have been like as well as sharing their stories and wisdom. One guide spoke about the peace flame which burns 24 hours a day, 7 days a week at the front of the park. She said that it would keep burning until the day that nuclear weapons no longer existed, and that it was her dream that one day it would be put out. During their lecture on peace, a young person from Mexico mentioned that "events like this must not carry on, as it will only mean that the human race will become extinct. We as Scouts can make a difference and make a change, creating a better world for all". Written by: Jagz Bharth & Aimee Dyos
