European Jamboree Participant Application

The European Jamboree is happening in Gdansk, Poland summer 2020. This application is for Scouts and Explorers who will be aged 14 to 18 at the time of the event (born between 26th July 2002 and 31st December 2006).

There will be 11 days of activities at the Jamboree, with around 15,000 people from not only Europe but all over the world too. We're also planning to do a pre and post event so the inclusive dates are: 24th July 2020 to 11th August 2020.

We anticipate that the whole event will cost £900, though this will be more accurate once flights are booked.

This is an amazing opportunity and there are a few spaces still remaining! If you are interested, please fill in the form here or if you have any questions? email emma@gln-scouts.org.uk
