Aire Valley Scouts WSJ Selection Application form
The World Scout Jamboree (WSJ) is the largest scouting event organised by the Scout Movement, gathering up to 50,000 people from all over the world. It is above all an educational event to promote peace and understanding. The WSJ includes a wide variety of activities and also places great importance on the everyday life and interaction on the campsite.

The WSJ takes place every four years in a different country.

We’re so excited that Aire Valley Scouts has been allocated 5 places to become part of the UK Contingent to the 25th WSJ in Korea during 2023.
