The Jamboree starts with the Opening Ceremony on 30 July 2027 and continues until the Closing Ceremony on 8 August 2027. The educational programme will contain: the main programme modules, plaza activities, programmes offered in subcamps, the International Day, the Inter-Religious Ceremony, Faith & Beliefs Zone and many more activities. Additionally, there will be a programme designed for the IST.
Educational activities during the programme modules will be supported by other non-governmental organizations (NGOs). The off-site modules will involve local communities in the host area, allowing Scouts to explore the history and culture of the Kashubian and Pomerania regions near Gdańsk.
The Jamboree programme will consist of four components:
Subcamp Programme
Life in subcamps is a huge part of the Jamboree experience. We want to ensure the participants thrive in a safe environment, building strong friendships and having fun. To that end, we will have special free time activities and the one-of-the-kind Solidarity Badge that will encourage Scouts to explore how bravery, peace, and friendship can change the world.
Modular Programme
The Modular Program will follow our “Bravely” theme. Participants will embark on adventures on-site, close-to-site and off-site, encouraging them to be courageous in their lives and communities. Every day will bring something new, allowing the participants to explore different areas and grow physically, spiritually, socially, and mentally. Participants will roam through forests, play on the beach, run around the city of Gdańsk, visit a Polish Scout camp, and much more.
Plaza Programme
The Plaza Programme will help participants experience different cultures and ideas. In the national tents, the participants will see presentations and displays from every contingent. The Faiths and Beliefs Zone will address their spiritual needs, while the Equality Zone will introduce them to friends from diverse communities, allowing them to exchange experiences without judgment.
Supporting Events
The Jamboree will feature several events that explore the “Bravely” theme in the past, present and future. During one of them, Youth Forum – a model UN debate, the participants will discuss ongoing issues and find real-life solutions to these problems. The 120 Years of Scouting Celebration will familiarise them with great figures who have brought change to the world. Also, a unique opportunity, the participants will be able to play a special Jamboree board game.

The Modular Programme is designed around the theme “Bravely”, inspiring participants to embrace courage in their lives and communities through a mix of on-site and off-site adventures. Each day presents new experiences, encouraging personal growth across physical, spiritual, social, emotional, and mental dimensions. Participants will navigate through forests, enjoy the beach, explore the vibrant city of Gdańsk, connect with Polish scouts at their camps, and engage in many more exciting activities.
To ensure everyone experiences the full range of activities, each subcamp follows a structured schedule, allowing all participants to complete every module by the end of the Jamboree.

This module promotes both physical fitness and mental resilience through engaging in beach activities, including team sports and mindfulness exercises. Participants will explore the connection between physical activity and well-being while embracing the calming influence of the seaside environment of Wyspa Sobieszewska.
Scouts will immerse themselves in traditional outdoor Scout skills, including fire-making, learning handy knots, shelterss-building, and pioneering projects. This hands-on experience fosters resourcefulness, teamwork, and a deeper appreciation for nature.

Scouts will solve themed escape room puzzles, create inspired clay teapots, engage in critical thinking games, and collaborate on percussion music, fostering problem-solving, creativity, and reflection on how environments, skills, and beliefs shape us.
Participants will engage in hands-on activities and discussions about sustainability, social justice, and global issues. This module inspires scouts to take action in their communities and become responsible global citizens.
Scouts will embark on a 24hr adventure outside of the Jamboree Site, involving camping with Polish Scouts at their camps and community service projects that contribute to local development. Whilst their stay, trained local scout leaders as well as IST will provide support with topics like logistics, as well as ensure their safety and health. This immersive experience strengthens outdoor skills, teamwork, and social responsibility.
Exploring Gdańsk’s historical landmarks, museums, and vibrant city life, participants will gain insight into Poland’s culture and history. Interactive challenges and guided tours will make history and heritage come to life.
