Calling all inspiring leaders, intrepid adventurers and problem-solvers!  

 

We hope that you will consider applying for a position in the leadership teams for the Hertfordshire Units that will be attending the 25th World Scout Jamboree to be held in Gdansk, Poland in 2027. 

 

There are 8 Leader positions available (2 Unit Leaders, 2 Deputy Unit Leaders and 4 Unit Leadership Team Members) that will be split through the 2 Units Hertfordshire has been granted.  

 

We are sure that a large number of adults will want to take part in this event as a Unit Leader. Role descriptions and person specifications highlight what the roles entail 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 Hertfordshire that wants to apply should do so, and consider the Jamboree experience a development opportunity for adults as much as for young people. Although costs are yet to be confirmed, we expect the event to cost around £3500 per unit leader.  

 

Please ensure you read and complete the application form carefully as we anticipate many applications. We will use what you write in your application form as the basis on which to make a decision about inviting you to the selection event. This event will be an opportunity for us to get to know you, understand why you would like to take on a leadership role for the Jamboree, and learn more about how your skills and experiences (in and out of Scouting) would support you to be a great member of the leadership team. It’s also a chance for you to meet new people, find out more about what being a jamboree leader means and if it’s right for you at this point.
