We are excited to announce that Merseyside will have a full unit of 36 young people so we are beginning recruitment for our contingent leadership team.
The 26th World Scout Jamboree will take place in Gdansk, Poland in the summer of 2027. The UK Scout Association has a long history of sending large number of Units (36 young people, aged between 14 and 18, and four leaders divided into four patrols) as part of a UK Contingent to attend World Scout Jamborees. The units represent each of the UK’s counties and countries/regions, with unit numbers being allocated based on the numbers of young people in each area.

Applying to join our contingent leadership team
We are sure that a large number of adults will want to take part in this event as a Unit Leader and so a role description and person specification has been produced to highlight what the role entails and the skills and experiences we are looking for. Please study these documents carefully and do send an application in.
The selection panel are keen that every adult in Merseyside that wants to apply should do so, and consider the Jamboree experience a development opportunity for adults as much as for young people.
You can find more information in the role descriptions, and the form to apply to join the team, below.
