Cargo Shipping to the Jamboree Site

To ensure smooth setup and access to equipment, Contingents are encouraged to plan shipments of items they wish to send to the Jamboree site in advance. The Jamboree Warehouse accepts 20ft containers, pallets, and truck trailers for advance delivery and storage during the Jamboree.

Storage of Shipments

All containers, pallets, and truck trailers will be stored outdoors. Though still outdoors, Pallets will be stored under cover at the Jamboree site. To protect your items, pallets should be wrapped in plastic and secured with pallet collars.

Access Before the Jamboree

Each Contingent is responsible for transporting items from their containers, pallets, or truck trailers to their intended locations on the Jamboree site. A small lorry can be rented from the Jamboree Organisation if needed. All use of private or Jamboree-rented lorries must take place before the arrival of IST (27 July 2027), as strict vehicle controls will be enforced on-site once the Jamboree begins. Vehicle Access and Parking Permits will need to be issued accordingly. The relevant procedures and requirements will be outlined in a future circular.

Access During the Jamboree

During the event, only Contingent Management Team members and designated IST are allowed to access the Jamboree Warehouse to retrieve equipment and materials. Youth participants and Adult Patrol Leaders are not allowed into the warehouse area. VAPPs will be required for the access during the Jamboree. Further details will be provided in a future circular.

Customs and Regulatory Considerations

Poland has strict rules about what can be brought into the country, including food, medicines, and plants or soil. Contingents are fully responsible for making sure all shipments comply with Polish customs and import regulations. This covers customs clearance, handling, and all required documentation. Any items sent without proper documentation or in violation of these rules may be delayed, refused, or even confiscated by relevant Polish authorities. Contingents are strongly encouraged to review all regulations in advance and work closely with their national authorities or freight forwarders to ensure smooth delivery. Contingents are also responsible for arranging appropriate insurance cover for any items they ship to the Jamboree site, including cover for transport, storage, handling, loss, damage, delay, and return shipment.
