Theme: Bravely
"Bravely" is the Jamboree theme, with which we aim to inspire young people to act courageously for the future of humanity and the planet.
Young people can be an inspiration to others by acting on what they believe in and encouraging change. Scouting can empower youth members to embark on self-discovery and growth, fostering self-awareness, resilience, and a balance between nature, technology, and personal well-being, while achieving their full potential. Scouts can take the initiative and make bold steps into the future.
Young people dream about their communities’ future. They feel a strong responsibility for the world around them. Adults should support and empower young people to make their dreams a reality and allow them to discover their potential.
We should allow young people to discover their potential and encourage them to speak loudly and bravely. We should support and encourage them to dream big, act decisively for what they believe in, allow them to make their own mistakes, and let them achieve their first successes. We should do our best to support them in these actions and ensure they do not feel alone as they explore and discover their paths.
We want the 26th World Scout Jamboree to be a space to inspire young people to act bravely for the future of all of us and our planet.
Now is the time for Scouts to not only be the change and take the initiative but also take brave steps forward. We want to encourage young people to walk beyond the usual, comfortable path and step up to take the floor in essential discussions. Scouts will learn how to take care of their well-being. We envision a Jamboree that will inspire but also help young people find the right self-balance and learn to take care of their mental health.
Main Educational Objectives
The 26th World Scout Jamboree theme is based on three pillars:
- You
- You and Other People
- You and the World
You
Our mission is to empower individuals to embark on a personal journey of self-discovery and growth, fostering self-awareness, resilience, and a harmonious balance between nature, technology, and personal well-being, inspiring them to achieve their full potential.
- To encourage one to explore oneself (reflecting on one’s life values and goals, knowing one’s strengths and weaknesses, developing self-confidence, and making informed choices).
- To spark attention to self-development (practicing non-cognitive transferable skills: creativity, problem-solving, and critical thinking, as well as adapting to changes, practising Scoutcraft).
- To learn how to maintain self-balance (managing an individual’s mix of educational and professional, friends and family, exercise, interests and passions, social engagement, leisure, etc., activities to lead a full and happy life).
- To learn how to take care of oneself – support mental health and well-being (developing resilience, counteracting pessimism).
- To learn how to embrace both nature and technology in one’s own life and balance online and offline activities.
You and Other People
Our mission is to cultivate a culture of diversity and collaboration within the Scouting community, bridging generations and cultures, and fostering open communication and inclusive partnerships, all aimed at building a global community committed to peace and mutual respect.
- To embrace diversity in all dimensions (sparking curiosity about other cultures, religions, worldviews, and opinions, promoting social inclusion of all).
- To learn how to communicate and collaborate across generations, cultures, and religions as a way to bring peace locally and globally (appreciating other people’s competencies, understanding other people’s needs, making good use of different perspectives, promoting partnerships with other social actors – sharing experiences and resources).
- To build a sense of togetherness in Scouting.
You and the World
Our mission is to inspire and equip Scouts to become proactive, environmentally conscious global citizens, actively contributing to positive societal change and embracing sustainable development goals for a more just, sustainable, and peaceful world.
- To encourage “positive activism”, the sense of belonging to civil society and youth empowerment, not waiting passively for public authorities to address our common problems, but also not going against government regulations and initiatives; to learn how to complement the system we live in peacefully.
- To understand our impact on and responsibility for the environment and conservation.
- To summarise our commitments towards sustainable development goals and to prepare to work on calls to action presented by the United Nations.
