World Scout Jamboree – YP Selection event – alternative date

World Scout Jamboree 2027 – GLSW Selection of Young Persons

Greater London South West has been allocated 36 young person places at the 26th World Scout Jamboree in Poland in August 2027.

There are around 2,200 Scouts and Explorers in the County in the eligible age range, so competition for those 36 places will be fierce.

To be a Participant at the 26th World Scout Jamboree, you must be aged 14 to 17 during the Jamboree. The Jamboree dates are 30th July and 8th August 2027, so Contingent members must be born between 30 July 2009 and 30 July 2013.

This weekend has been earmarked for the process to select those 36 Young People who will need to demonstrate their suitability and passion for the role in addition to being able to commit to participating fully in all of the training camps and fundraising events.

Successful youth candidates for the GLSW Contingent will be bright, enthusiastic team players who will act as ambassadors for our District, County, Region and Country.

The cost per person will be approximately £3,500 and all YP Contingent members will be expected to contribute to covering that cost by fully participating in individual and group fundraising activities.

The selection process will take place on 10th January and 18th January 2026. Candidates MUST attend ONE of these events.
