International Experiences

A World Scout Jamboree is organised by the World Organization of the Scout Movement, typically attended by several tens of thousands of Scouts from around the world, aged 14 to 17. The first World Scout Jamboree was organized by The Boy Scout Association in London. With exceptions for the war years, it has been organized approximately every four years, in the more recent years by the WOSM, in different locations over the world.

If you speak to participants who have been fortunate to attend these events, they will confirm that they are life changing, unique experiences. Those who have completed Young Spokesperson Training will likely be asked to speak to the media and be involved in various publicity events upon returning to the UK to talk about their experience, as shown below.
