World Scout Jamboree 2023 price

Author: Liz Walker, UK Contingent Leader

It’s the question everyone has been asking, how much will the UK Contingent fee to attend the 25 World Scout Jamboree be?

From the start, we’ve set out to create the most diverse, inclusive and roarsome UK Contingent ever to attend a World Scout Jamboree. That means that cost shouldn’t be a barrier for anyone. We’ve worked hard with event organisers, our colleagues at The Scouts and suppliers to reduce costs and ensure this opportunity is open to all.

A large part of the journey is raising the fee. We are actively encouraging all members of the UK Contingent to act together and fundraise as Units and individuals. We’re launching a ‘funding hub’ soon to share tips on fundraising to really help you roar.

So, what’s the fee?

We're proud to have been able to maintain costs and we will look to reduce fees from these published amounts, if possible. As our Contingent grows bigger, with the addition of Unit Leaders, participants and IST, we can’t wait to see how everyone thinks big, dreams wild and acts together to raise the fee.

The World Scout Conference has voted to award the 25th World Scout Jamboree to the Korea Scout Association (KSA) for the year 2023. This will be the second World Scout Jamboree for the KSA. They also hosted the 17th World Scout Jamboree in 1991.

The 25th World Scout Jamboree will be a part of the KSA’s celebration of a century of Scouting in South Korea. The Korea Scout Association was founded in the year 1922 and is now the largest youth organization in South Korea. The 25th World Scout Jamboree will be used both “to celebrate the 100th anniversary of the Scout Movement in Korea in 2022 and to prepare for the next 100 years.”

Just as the 25th World Scout Jamboree represents the KSA’s transition into a new century of Scouting, the 24th World Scout Jamboree in North America and the 25th World Scout Jamboree in South Korea will represent the end of the first century of World Scout Jamborees and the beginning of the second century of future World Scout Jamborees.
