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:
|
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.
Participation Guidelines:
Participants will most often take part in the Modular Programme as patrols, though some activities may be done individually or as entire units.
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 engaging free time activities and the one-of-a-kind Solidarity Badge that will encourage Scouts to explore how bravery, peace, and friendship can change the world.
The Subcamp programme is entirely optional, designed for those who wish to participate. Activities will be available every evening, offering a variety of engaging experiences:
The Plaza Programme will help participants experience different cultures and ideas. In the World Scout Centre, 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. All Plaza activities are walk-in activities (without registration). Participants can take part in the Plaza Programme every day on their own (full patrols are not required). The Plaza will be open for Day Visitors.
Plaza programme will consist of:
The Plaza will be the central meeting place of the Jamboree, serving as a vibrant spot where participants from around the world can gather, interact, and experience the unique atmosphere of the event. The Plaza will play a key representative role, hosting the Jamboree Gate and the flags of all NSOs, symbolising the unity and diversity of World Scouting.
Within the Plaza’s commercial area, visitors will find a Scout Shop, offering official merchandise and essential Scouting gear, as well as a variety of food houses catering to different tastes and dietary needs. Additional facilities and service points will ensure that the Plaza is not only a place of trade but also a comfortable and welcoming space where participants can relax and connect.
Designed to reflect the spirit of a true marketplace, the Plaza will be the beating heart of the Jamboree, fostering engagement, exchange, and shared experiences, making it an essential and memorable part of the event.
The Jamboree will feature several events exploring the “Bravely” theme across the past, present, and future. This symbolic framework is designed to inspire participants to act courageously throughout the Jamboree, guiding them both literally and metaphorically in various ways.
