When the World Scout Jamboree opens next year in South Korea, 11 local scouts will represent North Carolina. All but two of those scouts are from Troop 235 in Hampstead. “Nine scouts selected from the same troop is a testament to what the troop as a whole wants,” says Assistant Scoutmaster Allen Wilson. “When they get together, all the different personalities and interests really combine to create an atmosphere of ‘we want to do more, we want to see new things.’”
