A World Scout Jamboree is a truly transformative experience, and Nottinghamshire County Scouts are thrilled to have one unit (36 Young People, 4 Adults) attending the 26th World Scout Jamboree in Gdansk, Poland in 2027.
If you are interested in a role as part of the Leadership team of the Nottinghamshire Unit, please keep reading as all of the information you need to know will be outlined below.
There are 4 Leader positions available (1 Unit Leader, 1 Deputy Unit Leaders and 2 Unit Leadership Team Members) who will work together to deliver the Jamboree experience for the Nottinghamshire Unit.
We are sure that a large number of adults will want to take part in this event as a Unit Leader and so a role description and person specification has been produced to highlight what the role entails and the skills and experiences we are looking for. Please study these documents carefully and do send an application in. The selection panel are keen that every adult in Nottinghamshire that wants to apply should do so, and consider the Jamboree experience a development opportunity for adults as much as for young people.
When you apply please make sure you read and complete the application form carefully. We anticipate a large number of applications and we will use what you write in your application form as the basis on which to make a decision about inviting you to a selection event.
This event will be an opportunity for you to tell and show us more about you, why you would like to take on a leadership role at the Jamboree, find out more about how your skills and experiences (in and out of Scouting) would support you to be a great member of the leadership team. As well as a chance for you to meet others, find out more about what being a jamboree leaders means and if it is right for you at this point.
Unfortunately, we only have one selection event, so please do ensure that you are able to make those dates if you wish to apply for one of these roles.
We do hope that you will apply, and remember, study the person specification and job description carefully and consider what skills and experiences you have that would contribute to ensuring the young people in the Nottinghamshire Unit to the World Scout Jamboree have a truly great international experience.

We look forward to receiving your application soon. Good luck!
