JCB Workmax UV at work in Rinkaby.

Scout leaders have deployed 80 JCB machines to build and operate a campsite at a world Jamboree for 40,000 participants.

JCB's Swedish dealer, Söderberg & Haak Maskin AB, won a multi-million pound order for a fleet of telehandlers, wheeled loading shovels, a backhoe loader, a wheeled excavator and 60 JCB Workmax utility vehicles (UTVs).

The machines were used to construct a huge campsite for the 22nd World Scouting Jamboree in Rinkaby, Sweden. During the event, the Workmax UTVs transported people and materials around the site. Some were converted into fire tenders complete with emergency medical equipment.

Now that the Jamboree has ended, the whole fleet of JCB machines is removing the infrastructure that was installed for the event.

Thomas Svensson, CEO of Söderberg & Haak Maskin AB, says the machines performed well and helped make the World Scouting Jamboree a success.

"The highly visible role of the JCB Workmax machines in particular, throughout the Jamboree, has helped put that product on the map in Sweden and really raised its profile here," he says.

Over 40,000 scouts from all over the world attended the Jamboree, which was eight years in the planning.
