Autumn '21 - the image above appears on the 1st Bow Scout Group Facebook page & it all begins!
Sophie (age 14): Can I apply?
Mum (isolating in her room with Covid): How much is it?
Sophie: They don't know yet.
Mum (drugged?, insane?, craving normality?): Go for it, let's see what happens!
One week later - realisation that James (age 12) will be too old for the 2027 WSJ event....
Mum: James, do you want to apply for Korea?
James: Yeah! I'm not missing out on a trip of a lifetime!
So that's how it started, one Facebook post, two scouts ready for adventure, application forms submitted and waiting for the selection weekend to arrive.......
