Our Jamboree Journey Begins – WSJ Polska 2027

Date: 18th Jul 2025 Author: Phoebe McDowell

We’ve officially kicked off our preparations for the 26th World Scout Jamboree – Polska 2027 with the UK Contingent!

Earlier this summer, 12 volunteers joined us for a leader recruitment weekend, filled with energy, teamwork, and a shared passion for international Scouting. It was a chance to connect, share ideas, and explore what makes a strong leadership team.

We were delighted to welcome the Scouts NI Youth Team, who ran a Q&A session and shared insights from their recent Youth Forum – helping ensure youth voice remains at the heart of our decision-making.

A big thank you as well to members of The Wee Buns, who formed the selection panel and brought thoughtful contributions throughout the weekend.

We’re now pleased to introduce the NI Unit Leadership Team:

Unit Leader: Callum McCloskey
Deputy Unit Leader: Jonny Allen
Team Member: Megan Hunter
Team Member: Charli Ogg

 A huge congratulations to Callum, Jonny, Megan and Charli! We’re excited to see your journey unfold as you lead the NI Unit towards an unforgettable adventure.

Please note: Jamboree applications for young people will open at the end of August, with information evenings for parents coming soon.
