World Scout
Jamboree
The World Scout Jamboree is a Scouting jamboree of the World Organisation of the Scout Movement, typically attended by several tens of thousands of Scouts from around the world, aged 14 to 17. In July 1920, the first World Scout Jamboree was held at Olympia, London.
The next World Scout Jamboree is:
South Korea - 2023
Our very own County Commissioner, Liz Walker, will be leading the UK Contingent to the next World Scout Jamboree which takes place in Korea in 2023.
