GLSW Selection of Young People

• When: 10th or 18th January 2026 (applicants must attend one)

Greater London South West has been allocated 36 young person places at the 26th World Scout Jamboree in Poland in August 2027.

There are around 2,200 Scouts and Explorers in the County in the eligible age range, so competition for those 36 places will be fierce. We’re expecting Royal Kingston District to be eligible for between 5 and 7 places.

This weekend has been earmarked for the process to select those 36 Young People who will need to demonstrate their suitability and passion for the role in addition to being able to commit to participating fully in all of the training camps and fundraising events.

Successful youth candidates for the GLSW Contingent will be bright, enthusiastic team players who will act as ambassadors for our District, County, Region and Country.

The cost per person will be £3,440 and all YP Contingent members will be expected to contribute to covering that cost by fully participating in individual and group fundraising activities. There will a contribution towards this from both GLSW (£500) and District (£500).
