25 World Scout Jamboree
Think big. Dream wild. Act together
This summer, 72 Scouts aged 14-18 from Cheshire will embark on a three-week international expedition to the World Scout Jamboree in South Korea.
They will joinmore than 40,000 Scouts from all over the world. The World Scout Jamboree (WSJ) is a World Organization of the Scout Movement (WOSM) event, it happens every four years, each time hosted by a different country.
This is probably going to be one of the most life changing experiences ever.
Both units will spend 12 days on the Jamboree site with at least five days in the capital of Seoul.

What is a World Scout Jamboree?
More than 40,000 Scouts from all over the world will gather for the 25 World Scout Jamboree. The event happens every 4 years, each time hosted by a different country. The first WSJ took place in 1920 in the UK, with the last two hosted in USA in 2019 and then Japan in 2015!
Many people who have been to previous World Scout Jamborees – whether adults or young people – happily talk about a “life changing experience”. You will see new things, meet new people, be immersed in the true worldwide family of Scouts. This really is a unique experience that cannot be put into words.
One of our objectives is to ensure everyone who is part of the journey grows as a person and recognises that change – bringing back new skills and ideas to make a lasting impression on their local scouting and community. Its not just about the Jamboree its self the journey to the Jamboree is just as important in developing you as a person and forging friendships that will last a lifetime…
Our Contingent are more than just travel buddies, they are planners, fundraisers,motivators and mentors. We’ve got a lot to achieve in a short time but we’ll leap at the challenge as we…Think big. Dream wild. Act Together.
