Help 8 Scouts get to the WSJ in South Korea 2023

25th World Scout Jamboree 2023 South Korea

In Summer 2023, more than 40,000 Scouts from all over the world will gather in South Korea for the 25th World Scout Jamboree, an event that only happens once every four years. Each time in a different host country, this one also marks the 100th year of enabling young people to realise their dreams, make friendships with people from different cultures, and take part in a safe, inclusive and sustainable programme of activities.

Chesterfield is proud that eight of our local young people aged 14 to 17 will be going to South Korea. Cameron, Charlie, Daisy, Dylan, George, Lily, Mia and Zoe will Think big, Dream wild, and Act together (this Jamboree’s UK theme) but to get themselves there they need to raise around £30,000. This money not only funds the trip for them, but contributes to funding Scouts from less fortunate countries, to ensure that the event has the widest and fairest possible participation from around the world.

We dream about a sustainable world, where everyone’s welcome. But we’re not just about dreaming, Scouts want to see action too. Our UK Contingent won’t silently creep round global issues, we’ll be trailblazers for getting young voices heard…
