The aim of the Solidarity Operation for 26th World Scout Jamboree is to ensure that at least one patrol from each WOSM Member Organization from Category A and B countries will be present during the event.
What is offered
We offer support for one patrol that consists of 9 youth participants (PAX) + 1 Adult Patrol Leaders (APL) + 1 additional adult. If participants are both female and male, adult patrol leader and additional adult should be female and male.
We assume that the additional adult (the eleventh person) will serve as a member of the Contingent Management Team (CMT) during the event itself.
Costs which will be covered within the Solidarity Operation include:
- Registration fees for 9 PAX and 1 APL + 1 additional adult
- Transportation costs from the home country to the Jamboree site,
- Visa fees (if applicable),
- Sleeping tents,
- Sleeping bags and camping mattresses.
Each Solidarity Patrol will also receive the same cooking and camping equipment as all other patrols.
Who can apply
Every member organization from Category A and Category B countries.
How to register a Solidarity Patrol
A Solidarity Patrol is registered in the same procedure as other patrols. During the registration process, a Solidarity Patrol should be included in the total number of patrols that are being registered. When registering, the additional adult for the Solidarity Patrol should be registered as a CMT member. Example: If you register only the Solidarity Patrol you will register 1 patrol and 1 CMT member.
For each Member Organization from Category A and B countries, one of the patrols which will be registered and 1 CMT member, will be treated as a Solidarity Patrol and Jamboree fees for that patrol will not be calculated.

How can I help
We encourage individual Contingents to actively support representations from Category A and B countries in their efforts to participate in the Jamboree. This support can take various forms, for example, logistical assistance such as sharing transportation resources. Additionally, Contingents are encouraged to integrate representatives from these countries into their own preparation processes to foster inclusion and ensure a smoother experience for all participants. Such collaborative efforts not only strengthen international solidarity but also contribute to a more diverse and enriching Jamboree environment.
We are raising funds to enable Scouts from around the world to take part in Jamboree. Jamboree is a place where young people can feel part of an international community. It's a place where they can meet people from the other side of the world, who may be very different from themselves. It is a lesson in diversity, a lesson in building peace, a lesson in independence. This is why it is so important that representatives from all 176 National Scouting Organisations can participate in the event.
Gdańsk is a City of Solidarity, but the Jamboree is also such a place. "City of Solidarity" is a symbol of our collective strength, courage, and readiness to act for those most in need. All of us can contribute to enabling scouts from countries all over the World to participate in the Jamboree. This operation aims to support Scouts from diverse backgrounds and promote the values of Solidarity and inclusion.
Individuals can donate and become part of the Solidarity Operation. The second option is to set up your own fundraising campaign and collect 10,000 euros to finance the participation of an entire patrol. People can also purchase specially marked products in the Jamboree shop to support the Solidarity Operation.
