26th World Scout Jamboree - Poland

 

July 30 – August 8, 2027 in Gdańsk, Poland

This incredible event brings together tens of thousands of Scouts from over 170 countries for a global celebration of peace, diversity, and youth leadership.

With the theme “Bravely,” the Jamboree will challenge and inspire young people to step up, take action, and make a positive impact on the world. It’s a chance to build international friendships, experience new cultures, and embrace the courage to shape a better future.

 

Youth Participants

Scouts between the ages of 14 and 17 are involved in a wide range of activities focused on adventure, cultural exchange, and personal growth. The core of the experience is camping with their units and interacting with Scouts from other countries.

International Service Team (IST)

The IST is the operational backbone of the World Scout Jamboree, consisting of adult volunteers aged 18 and older from around the globe. They are the leaders and staff who make the event happen.

Contingent Management Team (CMT)

The CMT is the leadership group responsible for the overall planning, organization, and execution of the USA Contingent’s participation in the World Scout Jamboree. Members of the CMT are adult volunteers who work for several years leading up to the event.

See you in Poland!

Thank you for a memorable and fun World Jamboree. This was my first jamboree ever, and even though I never got to experience a full jamboree, the time I did have at the site was great. I got to talk to many different people from many different places. I was able to make friends and connections, and despite the challenges, I was still able to have fun. If I could come back, I would. Thank you for an awesome Jamboree.

I spent hours talking with scouts from all over the world about scouting in their countries,their cultures,and what they enjoy doing.
I also went shooting and did the canopy tour early in the morning which was fun and spent a lot of time trading neckerchiefs. I will never forget these past 12 days at the World Scout Jamboree

I am very glad I was able to take part in the 25th World Scout Jamboree. It was an experience unlike one I have ever had the pleasure of enjoying. It’s incredible to meet so many people from other places in the world that share a love of scouting. I am exceptionally grateful for the efforts of the IST and adult leaders as well as the US military that made the jamboree successful and helped make it worthwhile.

Aiden S.

As this is my first ever Jamboree, I believe that this is one of my favorite experiences in scouting so far. Trading and meeting people was so fun because not everyone is allowed this opportunity. This event wouldn’t have happened without the help of the IST and our adults so i’m very thankful for that. I hope that most people had attained a good experience with this jamboree and I wish the best for the fellow scouts of the world.
