The Jamboree is a skills, cultural and adventure festival happening in sensational and scenic South Korea. In summer of 2023, they will be meeting thousands of Scouts from nearly every country in the world sharing their skills and learning from others.
UK Chief Scout Bear Grylls, said:
Congratulations to the Solihull Scouts and all those who have been selected to go on this amazing adventure! World Scout Jamborees only happen every four years and tens of thousands of Scouts from across the world attend each one. Young people will experience different cultures, languages and cuisine while learning new skills. After two very difficult years, it is so important that these young people have this opportunity. The 2023 Jamboree, hosted by Korea, is set to be one of the biggest and most exciting yet.'
