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.

- 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.
Closing Date to join BSO is 31st December 2025

Originally posted at scouts.org.uk British Scouting Overseas share their experience seeing a total eclipse of the sun For lots of young people, 12 August 2026 was a special chance to watch the moon move between the Sun and Earth, blocking most or all of the Sun’s light. Here in Britain, we popped on our special safety glasses to see a partial eclipse just after 7pm last night. Other countries – such as Spain and Portugal – were treated to a total eclipse, where the Sun’s light is completely blocked.
