Leeds schoolboy plans 'spinathon' to raise money for trip to South Korea

A 14-year-old schoolboy from Leeds will be cycling for 12 hours straight to raise money to attend the 25th World Scout Jamboree in the Republic of Korea.

Jamie White has been chosen as part of the UK group to go to the Jamboree, but will need to raise the money for the trip himself. This is one of the conditions of the trip, which will see 40,000 scouts from more than 150 nations around the world travel to Korea.

His sister has already been helping him with the fundraising and quickly organised a bake sale before he tried to earn more money by playing his guitar in a musical session at Aireborough Rugby Club.
