Welcome to Orangutan

Sub Camp…

A massive hello and warm welcome goes out to all of you who will be joining us on Orangutan! Special greetings to those of you from Canada, Germany and Uganda.

These next few pages will tell you about what we have planned for you on Orangutan Subcamp, give you a little picture about the amazing Orangutan, and tell you about the people who are running your subcamp.

As we get closer to the Jamboree these pages will grow as more is added. We will let you know about our plans, what we will have to do on Orangutan, how we will keep you all up to date with the goings on during the Jamboree and just some fun stuff to look at! So make sure you pop back often to visit us.

Pongo will be our Orangutan mascot for the week and will be out and about quite a bit on our subcamp and the jamboree site - keep your eyes peeled ( Banana Joke - get it?) to spot him and come over and say hi or get a photo together. Pongo will sometimes also have some interesting information to share with you.

Here are the links to those all important pages …

We’re truly international on Orangutan … see who’s staying with us.

A famous Orangutan is King Louis from The Jungle Book best known for his song about wanting to be a man. Maybe learn the words below so you can join in singing or humming along when you hear those all important words ”oh obee do”……………..

Now I’m the king of the swingers
Oh, the jungle VIP Oh, Obee Do
I’ve reached the top and had to stop I wanna be like you
And that’s what’s bothering me I wanna walk like you
I wanna be a man, a man cub Talk like you, too
And stroll right into town You’ll see its true
And be just like the other men An Ape like me
I’m tired of monkeyin’ around! Can learn to be human too
