European Region Open Call

August 8, 2022

Zach Cater the Deputy UK International Commissioner has written to us with an opportunity that typically only occurs once every 3 years in the European Scout Region – Recruitment into the European Volunteer Teams.


The European Scout Region is currently recruiting for their Volunteer Pool – a group of volunteers, aged 18+, representing Scouting from all across Europe who will help deliver the 2022-2025 Regional Scout Plan. By joining the volunteer pool, individuals are not yet committing to anything but indicating their willingness to volunteer some time over the next triennium, 2022-2025. Starting in September 2022, members of the volunteer pool will be invited to apply to specific opportunities to support the region. Prior UK volunteers have made an excellent impact and it would be great for this to continue.




It would be fantastic if this could please be shared with your adult members, all adult members are eligible to apply, including yourselves. Should you have any social media channels within your Groups please do feel free to share these links on them, in addition to sharing this link to relevant individuals. Deadline: 2nd September.

If you or interested parties have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact Zach Cater

Youth Recruitment for World Jamboree

By Graham Eden • October 15, 2025
Could the World Scout Jamboree Be for You? The World Scout Jamboree is a once-in-a-lifetime adventure, with tens of thousands of Scouts from all over the world. It’s about making new friends, trying new things, learning about different cultures, and discovering what you’re capable of. But it’s also a big commitment. It takes time, energy, and a willingness to step outside your comfort zone. This experience isn’t right for everyone, and that’s okay. There are lots of other amazing opportunities in Scouting, too. This description is here to help you decide if applying for the Jamboree is something you’d enjoy and grow from. What Kind of Young People Are We Looking For? There’s no such thing as a “perfect” Jamboree participant. We’re not looking for the loudest, the most confident, or the most experienced. We’re looking for a mix of people who are ready to: Be part of a team – listen, support others, and work together Try new things – even if they feel a bit scary at first Be open-minded – meet people from different backgrounds and cultures Get stuck in – whether it’s cooking dinner, putting up tents, or joining in activities Grow – learn about yourself, challenge yourself, and come back with stories to tell You don’t need to have done anything like this before. You just need to be up for the journey and be born between 30 July 2009 and 30 July 2013. What You’ll Be Expected to Do If you’re selected, you’ll be part of a Unit with other young people from your area. You’ll: Take part in training weekends and team-building activities Help fundraise for your place and support others in doing the same Represent your community and the UK at an international event Be ready to learn, laugh, and maybe even get a bit muddy! Still Not Sure? That’s okay. Talk to your leaders, your family, or someone who’s been to a Jamboree before. Ask questions. Think about what excites you and what worries you. This might be the right adventure for you, or it might not be. Either way, there’s something in Scouting for everyone.
