Jamboree and International Save the Date
Author: Howard Nelson
Published: April 3, 2025
UK Scouts have confirmed their participation in the 26th World Scout Jamboree, set to take place in Poland during the summer of 2027. This decision follows a thorough review of the 25th World Scout Jamboree and the organisation’s strategic planning for the upcoming event.
The UK Contingent will comprise 70 Units and 630 International Service Team (IST) members, ensuring strong representation while enhancing operational management and the overall experience. Due to the reduced size of the contingent, an invitation will not be extended to members of Girlguiding on this occasion. However, UK Scouts remain committed to maintaining a strong partnership with Girlguiding and will continue to explore future opportunities for collaboration both internationally and within the UK.
For this Jamboree, UK Scouts are dedicated to implementing a streamlined and transparent selection process that prioritises representation, efficiency, and accessibility. Additionally, six educational objectives have been introduced for all UK Contingent international events, ensuring that every participant embarks on a journey of personal growth, discovery, and adventure.
We are waiting for confirmation on our Unit Size but need to reserve a date for the adult leadership team for Jamboree and also for a County run international in Summer 2027. The date for this is 21 and 22 June 2025 and will be held at Shacklewell Hollow near Stamford.
Unit Leadership Team Selection
We do not have full details for the selection of the leadership team. Lincolnshire Scouts will follow a structured and fair selection process to ensure the best candidates are chosen in line with the guidelines given by UK Contingent.
- National and County-Led Selections: Selections will be nationally led for Northern Ireland, Scotland, Wales, and British Scouting Overseas (BSO). In England, counties will manage their own selection processes with the support of the UK Contingent.
- Set Selection Period: A standardized selection period from May to July 2025 across the UK will help ensure broad advertisement and diverse candidate outreach.
- Consistent Selection Format: An in-person selection process will be implemented, including scenario-based activities and structured interview questions. Ballots will not be used for Unit Leader selection.
