World Scout Jamboree 2027 – Applications Open!
Calling all Scouts and Explorers born between 30 July 2009 and 30 July 2013
This is your once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to be part of something truly amazing!
The World Scout Jamboree is the one of the largest outdoor youth events on the planet. Tens of thousands of Scouts from all over the world come together to camp outdoors and join in fun activities where they make new friends, learn about other cultures, and develop leadership skills that will last a lifetime. This event is opened to Scouts between the ages of 14 and 17 from all 176 Member Organizations.
The World Scout Jamboree will take place from 30 July to 8 August 2027 in Gdańsk, Poland. It will be a once-in-a-lifetime even life changing event for participants who will join approximately 50,000 other Scouts from all over the world.
Bravely is the motto of Jamboree inspires courage, collaboration, and engagement. This motto holds particular significance in Poland, especially in Gdańsk, a city renowned for its association with the historic Solidarity movement. In Gdańsk, let’s be inspired to make a change and take action for our environment!
Our County will be sending 1 Unit comprising 4 Leaders and 36 lucky Explorer Scouts. Successful youth candidates for the GLSW unit will be bright, enthusiastic team players who will act as ambassadors for our District, County, Region and Country.
The cost per person will be approximately £3,500 however Croydon District and GLSW will each provide a grant of £500 (so £1000 total) towards this figure. All Contingent members will be expected to fully participate in individual and group fundraising activities – and it is entirely possible to fundraise the entire amount – so don’t let that cost put you off, regardless of your situation!
