Reflecting on social, educational and developmental trends for the next decade, we are creating an Educational Programme focused on the following themes: you, you and other people, you and the world. On those pillars we will build a valuable and attractive programme that will respond to both, the needs of the world, and our young people. We want to give to the Scouts space to be sparks and to act bravely. We want to actively involve them in co-creating the Jamboree programme.
Concept
for 2027
JAMBOREE
PARTICIPANTS
Our Jamboree will empower young people to change their local community by developing themselves – in the end, change starts with each of us.
Jamboree Participants will experience an excellent Scouting programme, faithful to the the Purpose, the Principles and the Scout Method, and adapted to the needs and aspirations of young people in today and our future’s world.
Celebrating 120 years of Scouting
An important part of the programme will be the Friendship Day (international exchange) on 1 August 2027 centred on the celebration of the 120th Anniversary of Scouting. This day will give us an opportunity to celebrate our rich history together and show Scouts that they are part of a big brave international community.
Programme
The programme we have drawn for the 26th World Scout Jamboree will be a source of energy, new ideas and motivation to take action. It will also be a platform for exchanging ideas and experience, as well as an opportunity to make new friends, to learn about other cultures and to grow together, as individuals, as a generation, as a Movement.
From discovering environmental challenges and their social implications, through confirming our commitment to peace among the nations, the unity of the Scout Movement and common responsibility for people and Earth in the spirit of solidarity, to the understanding of the diversity of the world and finding self-balance. We want to create our programme in a way that will be inspiring for its participants and will encourage them to get to know themselves better. Not forgetting the fun and joy of adventurous out-doors activities.
The key programme modules, along with the other activities are based on the Scout Method
and becomes a part of the vision of Scouting aimed at bolstering the in-depth and conscious social impact.
