V Jamboree – Association of Scouts of Montenegro

Dear Scouts,

As organizers of the 5th Montenegrin Scout Jamboree “Feel Montenegro” we have the honor to invite you to be our guests next July in the town of Bar where the Jamboree will be held.

In the year 2014 we will concentrate all our efforts so that we can welcome all the Scouts that decide to visit our country. There will be trips, adventures, concerts, seaside fun, competition and various Scout activities to discover. Youngest Scouts won’t be forgotten as well as Scouting’s support – the adults in Scouting.

Big effort has already been made, and there is a lot more to come, which you will be informed about frequently by our team with the help of Bulletins. Taking care of this Jamboree won’t only be the Scouts, but also the Municipality of Bar, Ministry of defense and all Montenegro with its capacities.

We will do our best for you to have ten unforgettable days in Bar and all around Montenegro.

Looking forward to hearing from you

WELCOME!

ASSOCIATION OF SCOUTS OF MONTENEGRO

Part 1.

1.1 Jamboree organizer

With the arrival of Tibor Sekelj, 86 years ago, the most beautiful story of youth activism

started in our country. He was a great enthusiast, and he formed first Scout unit in

Montenegro, that was active up until Tibor went away for his world travels and adventures that

led him to many countries and cultures around the world. In 1956. a patrol leader training in

village Vidrovan near Niksic, marked a new start in Montenegrin Scouting and units started

forming all around the country that later formed the Association of Scouts of Montenegro as

we know it today. More than 1300 members of our Association are recognized in their

communities as helpful and respectful towards their duty to country and nature.

The town of Bar got the honor to be the “Scout town” and the duty to be home to more

than 2000 Scouts from all around the world and present itself as a trustworthy host to such a

great event!

Country of wonders. A jar full of treasure. It looks like the legend, that the God had his

bag ripped when he passed over Montenegro and lost all the mountains and many other things,

is true. The professionals will, on the other hand, say that this is an area in the South of Europe

and Balkans, modest in size but unique in diversity, made so by powerful forces of ancient

Nature. By force or by accident, it came out unusual – and wonderful!

And what do we offer to you? Pure joy in spectacular nature. Complete relax, rest and

recharge. Great fun, adrenaline, competition and exploration! Here we have small and hidden,

as well as kilometers long sandy beaches, thousands of kilometers of hiking and biking tracks,

fast, white rivers for rafting and kayaking, ski resorts and places not yet seen and touched by

mankind. Here we have carnivals, concerts, festivals and public square theaters. Here, in one of

our ports you can meet some of the richest people in the world, and in the mountains you can

have a chat with a shepherd whose wisdom will make it look as if you live in Homers age.

Charmed by all that diversity in one place, many go back to Montenegro, discovering every time

a new pearl in this unique jar of the Mediterranean.

Part 2.

2.1 Host town

Bar

Wide gate of Montenegro. The biggest port on Balkans Adriatic coast, Mediterranean nest of diversity. It will seduce you with hospitality, birds, olives and wine.

All around you can see nature playin dress-up. Located under Rumija mountain, between Adriatic sea and Skadar lake, Bar will surprise you with its different cultures, confessions, nationalities and traditions.

Sailing giants from all around the world come to see the 46 kilometer shore. And for those of you who want to swim in the blue seas, 9 kilometers of beaches have been dedicaded. Also, you should check stories about monsters from the lake that toches Bar with its 65km long shore. Also, you should be careful about looking for the monsters if you had wine from Crminica wine region, it is said to summon lake mermaids. Of course, you can always enjoy the sight of bird coloinies that come to the lake every year from across the world. Discover the lakes islands with monasteries, historical monuments and yet unheard stories. Also, be sure to visit Virpazar, a village long known for its hospitality. Also, check out the old town on the hilltop, just 4 kilometers from the coast. In this museum of architecture, since 7th century, many civilizations left their imprint. Hear the wispers of ancient nations under the olive tree that is more than 2000 years old. You will not find anywhere that many national costumes as you will find in Bar.

14.1 APPENDIX

Subcamps got their names after Montenegrin national parks. National parks are areas of special value and significant and rare natural fenomena. They are a geographical and natural whole that is protected by law.

Areas of National parks Durmitor, Biogradska gora, Skadarsko jezero, Lovćen and Prokletije are approx. 10% of Montenegrin territory. Every National park has unique natural and cultural heritage.

14.2 National park Lovćen

The Park encompasses central and the highest part of Lovćen massif, covering the area of 6.400 hectares Particularities of Lovćen are its lookouts.

View from Lovćen from all sides leaves an unrepeatable and unforgettable visual impression. Places that offer such distant and unrepeatable views are numerous: Jezerski vrh, Štirovnik, old road Krstac-Ivanova korita, Austrian strategic roads that lead to the mountain tops, Kotor serpentines – specific projecting and construction phenomenon. Exposed to the steep Lovćen slope and the Bay of Boka Kotortska – serpentines are an unrepeatable experience. Most of the sacral objects and interesting ethnographic material in Lovćen is concentrated in the area of Ivanova korita and village Njeguši, famous for fantastic ham and cheese. Authentic national architecture can be seen in this region: katuns –summer settlements of farmers and old stone houses with roofs made of sawn straw or laminar limestone, village guvna - places where folk meetings were held, were people celebrated and enjoyed themselves. Around ten churches with specific church towers “distaffs» (its form reminds of the distaff) round up Lovćen landscape. Climbing up to the mausoleum of the greatest Montenegrin poet and ruler Petar Petrović Njegoš (1813. -1851), represents a highlight of the visit to the National Park “Lovćen”. Mausoleum can be reached by the 20 kilometer road from Cetinje, followed by additional 461 steps that should be climbed to reach the mausoleum. Mausoleum is the most important work of the great Croatian sculptor Ivan Meštrović. It is said that Meštrović asked for a symbolic fee – Njeguški cheese and ham. The chapel is the most impressive part of Njegoš mausoleum. It is nine meters high with the arch covered in mosaic with 200.000 gold-plated tiles. Sarcophagus reminds of traditional Montenegrin tomb, with the state emblem and a cross carved in stone, as symbols of Njegoš spiritual and secular authorities.

14.3 National park Skadar lake

With the area ranging from 370 to 530 square kilometers, depending on the water level, Skadar Lake is the biggest lake in the Balkans. Due to its geographic position and sub Mediterranean climate, it is one of the most important habitats of swamp birds in Europe, right after the river Danube delta. There are around 280 bird species on the lake, including the rare curly pelican, which became a trademark of the National Park.

Throughout the history this region was a confluence of different civilization, which left a strong impact on its rich cultural and historical heritage. On the islands in the Skadar Lake, among birds and water-lilies many monasteries can be found. The oldest monastery- Starčevo, was founded in the XIV century by the humble ascetic, old man Makarije, after whom the island was named Starčeva gorica. On the shores of the lake there are two small towns–old urban settlements, with specific architecture – Virpazar and Rijeka Crnojevića. Both settlements are nowadays famous for its restaurants that offer traditional specialties. Southern hinterland of the lake (Crmnica) is famous for the best vine in Montenegro. Together with the lake carp, this will satisfy even the most demanding lovers of good food and drinks. The lake has numerous extraordinary beaches, particularly those in the village Murići, not less attractive than beaches on the coast...

14.4 National park Biogradska gora

Greatest natural value of this park is the rainforest Biogradska gora, which covers the area of 1600 ha and is one of the last three rainforests in Europe. In 1878, it was donated to the then ruler of Montenegro, duke Nikola and from then on it remained – as a "duke’s reserve" – under the state protection.

The park has 26 plant communities with around 2.000 species and subspecies. Out of over 200 bird species, particularly interesting is the imperial eagle. Deer, fawn, leap, wolf, wild boar, fox, rabbit and over 350 different inspects species have found their habitat in the Park. At the altitude of 1.094 meters, in the heart of the rainforest, there is Biogradsko Lake, the biggest and best known of the numerous glacial lakes in the area of the National Park. It consists of two parts, with numerous vortexes and typical glacial coves with unusual esthetic characteristics. Today, Biogradsko Lake is a famous excursion site with developed parking space, restaurant, bungalows, walking paths with lights and a camping space. Thanks to the climate conditions

during summer months, it attracts a large number of tourists, particularly transit tourist, which stop here on their way to the coast, seeking refuge from high temperatures.
