The XXVI World Scout Jamboree will take place in Poland in July/August 2027, on the Sobieszewska Island in Gdańsk. The right to organise the Jamboree was entrusted to ZHP by the World Scout Conference on 29 August 2021.
We invite leaders from WOSM Member Organisations to cooperate in the planning and delivery of the XXVI World Scout Jamboree – as part of the Jamboree Planning Team (JPT).
The current call is for the following roles:
- Programme Coordinator “We are all hosts”
- Head of the “Safe from Harm” Team

We anticipate that further invitations – to identify the heads of further departments on the Jamboree Planning Team – will be issued in the first half of 2023, with a wider invitation to the Jamboree Planning Team planned for autumn 2023. Given the experience of previous organisers of the World Scout Jamboree, it is estimated that at the peak of preparations, the Jamboree Planning Team will consist of more than 1,300 people from at least 40 countries around the world.

MORE OVER
- An already outlined site for the Jamboree to be set in Gdansk, Wyspa Sobieszewska, stipulated in an agreement between ZHP and the City of Gdansk;
- The City of Gdansk authorities demonstrate deep understanding of the idea of World Scout Jamboree and a social change it brings. Good co-operation between the City and ZHP in preparation for the ZHP National Jamboree 2018 and the European Jamboree 2020® guarantees a high level of engagement and support for the 2027 World Scout Jamboree;
- Majority of investments to prepare Wyspa Sobieszewska for hosting such large scale scout events has been already done, with a total amount of 90,000,000 PLN involved from Gdansk and national budgets.
