Sign Up for Haarlem Jamborette 2023

September 19, 2022

Haarlem Jamborette is a large international camp that takes place for 12 days in the Netherlands every 4 years. BSO Area attended the last Jamborette in 2019 and we look forward to attending again in August 2023.


This camp gives you the chance to attend a jamboree outside of the UK, meet up with thousands of other scouts and take part in a large range of activities such as sailing, kayaking, arts and crafts, sightseeing, climbing towers, zip-lines and tons more! There are also several parties throughout the camp including amazing opening and closing ceremonies. For everyone who attends, it is likely to be the highlight of their childhood!

How do I sign up for Haalem 2023 with BSO?

Please note that the organiser's maximum group size is 75 places in total (66 young people + 9 adults). If this camp is over-subscribed on the cut-off date (1st November 2022), BSO reserves the right to apply a selection process. Once your place is confirmed, you will then have seven days to pay the deposit before your place is released. An immediate €100, non-refundable deposit will be required to secure your place when requested. Young people and adults interested in attending should register an expression of interest by completing our Expression of Interest form.


If we are oversubscribed, we will endeavour to find a space for you within an adjacent BSO Scout Group but this is not guaranteed and depends on their capacity.  Please note that we can only accept active members of British Scouting Overseas (sorry, we are unable to accept non-BSO members from UK-based Scout Groups).

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;
