The 26th World Scout Jamboree
2027’s2027 Symbolic Framework is based on a simple thing we all recognise from our years in
scouting—storytellingScouting – storytelling. The Symbolic Framework serves as an outline for the participants’ journey through the Modular Programme, which is named after places (Beach, Village, Forest, City, etc.), as well as its extensions, which are reflected in the names of Polish flora chosen for the Subcamps’ names. The Hubs tie the Subcamps together as they are named after five colours the plants are in.
The Symbolic Framework also sparks brings the story of living bravely to life with ten Companions, who, as through ten Companions. As their name suggests, will accompany they travel with the Participants on their way and serve as examples and confidants; each of them with a unique story to telltheir journey. Each Companion has their own story, serving as an example and a trusted friend along the way.
