Lucknow to Host 19th National Jamboree of Bharat Scouts and Guides
Lucknow is getting ready to host a really big camp for Scouts and Guides from all over India and even other countries!
It's like a giant tent city where thousands of young people will gather for a whole week.
They're calling it 'mini India' because each part of the camp will feel like a different Indian state.
There will be places to eat food from all over, and they're even setting up a planetarium so kids can look at the stars.
Lots of people are working to make sure everyone has fun and stays safe, with special places for health and good phone service.
This big event hasn't happened in Lucknow for many years and is celebrating a special anniversary for the Scouts and Guides.
Lucknow is set to host the 19th National Jamboree of the Bharat Scouts and Guides from November 23-29.
The event is expected to draw over 33,000 participants, including delegates from several Asia-Pacific nations.
The venue is being transformed into a 'mini India' with state-wise accommodation, a central arena, and regional food options.
A planetarium will be set up for participants to observe celestial movements.
Extensive health, communication, and security measures are being implemented for the gathering.
