The World Scout Jamboree is a major international event organized by the World Organization of the Scout Movement (WOSM). Held every four years, it brings together tens of thousands of Scouts, ages 14 to 17, from around the globe to promote cultural exchange, friendship, and adventure. The jamboree provides a unique opportunity for young people to learn from one another, develop leadership skills, and engage in outdoor activities while embracing the Scouting principles of community service, personal growth, and environmental stewardship.
The jamboree’s programme is packed with a variety of educational, recreational, and community service activities, including workshops, team-building exercises, and outdoor pursuits. These experiences help Scouts build a strong sense of global citizenship and foster a deeper understanding of different cultures, ultimately contributing to a more peaceful and connected world.
The first World Scout Jamboree was held in 1920 in London. With exceptions for the World War years and the Iranian Revolution, it has been organized every four years in different locations across the world.
In 2027, Poland will host the Jamboree for the first time in history, welcoming more than 50,000 Scouts in Gdańsk. You can only participate in the Jamboree once. Join this international adventure!
Top-level safety and organization
One of the most important aspects of the event is ensuring the participants’ safety. The Jamboree organizers are making every effort to provide the best conditions – from a qualified staff and security systems to well-planned logistics. Medical care, emergency procedures, and close cooperation with local authorities guarantee that every participant can feel comfortable and secure.
