Join the Adventure with British Scouting Overseas at Kent International Jamboree 2025!


Are you ready for the ultimate camping experience? British Scouting Overseas (BSO) invites Scouts, Explorers and adult volunteers to join us for the Kent International Jamboree 2025 (KIJ25), which will be biggest camp we’ve ever attended. We've had an amazing time at past Jamborees, and we're excited to make the next one even better!


Why BSO Loves KIJ:

  • Adventurous Activities: Climb, kayak, build rafts, and test your limits. 
  • Creative Challenges: Craft, code, cook international dishes, and innovate. 
  • Cultural Exchange: Learn about different countries, try new foods, and make global friends. 
  • Team Challenges: Work together to solve problems and achieve goals. 
  • Celebrations: Unmissable opening and closing ceremonies, live performances, and evening events. 


“I was nervous before my first Jamboree, but by the end of the week, I had friends from five countries and memories I’ll never forget.” – Alex, Dubai Explorer.

If you can create a fun, engaging and interactive stand we would like to hear from you! You will need to be free to attend the event from 4th to 6th Sept 26 at Gilwell Park, London and we will ask others attending to help deliver the stand over the weekend so you get chance to see everything else on offer.

We already know you love camping, supporting and developing young people, the chance to meet new people and visit other countries. If you would like a great opportunity to combine all of these, we want to hear from you. We would like to offer our young people more choice in summer camps. Groups of around 40 young people and 4 to 6 adults taking part in an international experience to build their confidence or gain top awards. This is what our young people have to say from previous events; I would recommend a BSO Jamboree because… “It’s AMAZING! It’s been the best experience I've had in my life, really well organised” - Morgan, Paris Explorers “I think it's an experience to meet people that you will remember for the rest of your life from other countries” – Fernanda, Madrid Scouts “It’s the BEST experience in my life” – Marcos, Madrid Explorers “It was a great way to meet new people and try new things and have freedom” – Elizabeth, Dubai Scouts “I loved it, I made so many new friends that I have kept in contact with after camp that I really enjoyed it. Also, I believe that it was a good experience to be away from parents for a long time” – Alex, Dubai Explorers “You’ll have fun, new experiences, meet new people & learn new sports like sailing” – Kumail, Dubai Explorers “It was a great experience and it was a pleasure to be able to meet with multiple internationally based scouts in one place while participating in fun activities” - Ethan, Doha Scouts “It’s really fun, a great experience in general, you meet people from everywhere which is something you get nowhere else” - Lieve, Paris Scouts These our the current opportunities, we are happy to hear from you if you have other ideas as well;
