Among the attendees were key representatives of the Polish government, including Deputy Minister of Education Paulina Piechna-Więckiewicz, Deputy Minister of the Interior and Administration Tomasz Szymański, officials from the Ministry of Sport and Tourism, the Minister for Civil Society, and the Chief Commander of the State Fire Service.

The session was also attended by our strategic partners, including Piotr Kryszewski, Managing Director, representing the Mayor of the City of Gdańsk. His presence underlined the city’s strong commitment and support for hosting the World Scout Jamboree in 2027.

Martyna Kowacka, ZHP Chief Commissioner, and Karol Gzyl, Executive Director of the Jamboree, presented a comprehensive overview of the state of preparations and responded to questions from Members of Parliament.

Government representatives confirmed that support measures are progressing as planned, and that the formation of an inter-ministerial working group is expected soon to ensure coordinated efforts at national level.

Parliamentarians expressed strong support for the Jamboree, recognising it as a flagship international youth event promoting peace education, intercultural dialogue and global cooperation.

The meeting also offered an opportunity for informal discussions with members of the Parliamentary Group of Friends of Scouting, including Renata Rak, Patryk Gabriel, Jarosław Wałęsa and Lucjan Pietrzczyk — long-standing supporters of the Scout Movement in Poland.

As we continue on the road to 2027, we are encouraged by the growing momentum, strengthened alliances and shared enthusiasm to deliver a truly transformative World Scout Jamboree in Poland.
