The next World Scout Jamboree will be held in Gdansk, Poland, in the Summer of 2027.
Hampshire County Scouts and Isle of Wight County Scouts have combined to form a single World Scout Jamboree program for the two Counties. The application process is the same for both Counties, so please follow the below.
Applications for the participant spaces have now closed. We are working through the applications as quickly as we can.
How many spaces are there for the WSJ :
The UK Contingent have given us 4 units, which means we have 144 participant spaces, plus 16 leader spaces.
Questions and Answers :
Please make sure that you read the following Q&A document before applying. If you have any questions after reading this, then please E-mail us on [email protected]
Applying for a Financial Grant :
Both Counties have joined together to operate a financial assistance grant program, to enable a wide range of young people to apply. If you need to apply for a grant from the WSJ County Grant fund, please use the link below to apply. Please note : this needs to be completed now, and the result of the grant application will be given with any offer of a place (so you can make an informed decision on accepting a place).

What happens after the application form has been sent in :
Within 4 days (might be a few days longer for posted entries), the participant and parent E-mail addresses will receive an E-mail from OSM, inviting you to join the WSJ OSM and enter additional information. If you haven't received this within 5 days, please contact us on [email protected]
Selection Weekend :
The compulsory selection weekend is being held at Fernycrofts (in the New Forest) over the weekend of 12th - 14th September. More details will be sent later. The selection weekend will cost £55, but if this is an issue in applying, we do have some assistance that can be given to a limited number of places.
How do I apply for Project 27 :
There will be an alternative expedition to the WSJ, known as Project 27. This will be offered to the WSJ applicants that are not offered WSJ places. Therefore, to apply for Project 27, you need to apply for the WSJ. There is more information in the Q&A.
