Dear Friends and Colleagues,

Another exciting chapter in the history of Scouting is set to unfold. In 2027, on the 120th anniversary of our Movement, we will come together in Gdańsk, Poland to celebrate the 26th World Scout Jamboree.

At Związek Harcerstwa Polskiego (ZHP), the Polish Scouting and Guiding Association, we are dedicated to making this event safe, educational, transformative, and truly memorable.

Scouts from around the world will gather to celebrate the ties that unite our communities, countries, and cultures. For some participants, the Jamboree will be the first trip outside their home countries. We will also welcome many first-time volunteers.

The motto for the Jamboree is “Bravely!”. We will bravely explore the world around us, overcome challenges, and rejoice in a community connected by our Scouting values.

Since being entrusted by the World Scouting Conference with hosting the Jamboree back in 2021, the ZHP has been hard at work, along with the Jamboree Planning Team, an international and intergenerational community of volunteers. Together with our partners at the World Scout Committee, the World Scout Bureau, the host city, and the host region, we will celebrate the Jamboree in the most sustainable manner possible. I warmly thank my friends and colleagues from our partner organisations for this collaborative effort.

I assure our Member Organisations that we will assist you at every stage of preparing your national contingents. We will be your guides, transparently updating you regarding the progress of our preparations and the challenges that accompany them. We want the Jamboree to be an adventure and an educational experience for our youth and adult participants, the national contingent teams and the International Service Team.

It is a great honour and commitment to plan the Jamboree. Together — bravely — we will create an incredible and transformative experience for the young leaders of tomorrow.

We invite you to Poland for the 26th World Scout Jamboree 2027. Let us meet in three years’ time to bravely build a better world together.

Yours in Scouting,

Karol Gzyl

Executive Director, World Scout Jamboree 2027
