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 are now open, please see below on how to apply.

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.

What are the closing dates :
Online / E-mail : 10pm on Sat. 19th July 2025
Postal : Post received by Wed. 16th July 2025

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]

Application Sections :
The application form has 3 sections.
Section 1 - General information, that can be completed by the young person, and / or by a parent / guardian.
Section 2 - This is the main section. This should be completed by the young person, with assistance from a parent / guardian. If written word is not the best format for the young person, this may be completed by using a Video Entry for Section 2.
Section 3 - Confirmations - This needs to be completed by both the young person and a parent / guardian.

Paper Entries :
A paper application form can be printed off and completed. This can either be posted to the address on the form, or, it can be scanned and E-mailed to [email protected] (you can also use the paper version to see all of the questions, before completing the online form).

Online Entries :
Please use the link below to goto the Online Entry form. This uses a Typeform to collect all of your entry information.
Typeform doesn't time out, but, if you close the window containing your application before submitting at the end, it will be lost.
We do recommend that you type some of your answers (especially to Section 2) in a notepad / word document, and then copy and paste them into the form. If you then lose your form, at least you will still have your long answers.

Video Entries for Section 2:
Please see the instructions below for how to submit a Video Entry for Section 2. Please note, you must still submit an application form as well, and just put "Via Video Entry" on the Section 2 questions.

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).

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.
