Engaging, Supporting,

and Recognising

Volunteers  

Through their hard work and dedication, the International Service Team (IST) plays a crucial role in making the World Scout Jamboree a success. Thats why it's so important to recognise that without our incredible IST, the Jamboree wouldn't be possible.  

 ISTs don’t just come to a Jamboree to work - they want to have fun, make new friends and develop new skills while building on the ones they already have. They’re looking for an experience that is both meaningful and rewarding, giving them the chance to contribute, learn and connect with a global community.   

 Most of all they want to leave the Jamboree with amazing memories and the feeling that they were a valued team member in a role that truly made a difference.  

Engaging 

 Every IST member will have the opportunity to choose a role that complements their skills and interests. To ensure they are prepared for this role they will complete via an e-learning platform two types of pre-Jamboree training:  IST Induction Training  and Safe from Harm Training. 

 Before the event, we will provide a warm welcome and essential information including top tips to ensure the IST are fully prepared and feel confident about their role at the Jamboree.  

 Supporting 

• IST will also have an opportunity to take part in online Role Specific Training with their team. 

• Throughout the Jamboree, continuous learning opportunities will be offered through workshops and training sessions, enhancing skills that will benefit IST members beyond the event itself. 

• The “IST Feedback System” allows volunteers to share their thoughts, report challenges, and suggest improvements, ensuring their voices are heard.   

Recognising

 

• Recognition is an essential part of the IST Experience.   

 

• The “IST Experience Award” acknowledges their hard work, training, and contributions in a unique and very visual way, that will not only recognise and reward the

IST’s it will also inspire

too

• as well!   

 

• The “Thank You Programme” provides every IST member with a digital certificate of achievement, those ISTs that go above and beyond will get an enhanced certificate highlighting their exceptional service.  

 

• The IST Programme will help all ISTs to “bravely” create their own individual path through the Jamboree. This path will be guided by their own interests, challenges and knowledge, uniquely allowing the IST

to

• to choose and create part of their own experience. Whether they take part in with new friends, old friends or even alone, the IST will have the opportunity to discover fun, adventurous and interactive activities, to enhance their Jamboree experience no matter if it’s their first or tenth time as an IST. 
•  The IST Experience is designed to empower, support, and celebrate every volunteer, ensuring that their time at the Jamboree is not just about fulfilling duties but about growing, learning, and making lasting memories.
