The World Scout Jamboree will take place from 30 July to 8 August 2027 in Gdańsk, Poland. It will be a once-in-a-lifetime even life changing event for participants who will join approximately 50,000 other Scouts from all over the world.

Our District will be sending between 5 and 7 lucky Scouts as part of Greater London South West’s allocation as part of the UK Contingent to the Jamboree itself.

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  – more details can be found here (click on the date): 10th January or 18th January.

TOP TIP: Register now for the District Expedition Poland 2027 as well. If you are successful any money you may have paid will transfer to your WSJ account. If you are not successful you’ll still have an amazing alternative international adventure and STILL visit the World Jamboree! Details of the District Expedition to Poland can be found here.
