About
Poland, an island, and a word.
The 26th World Scout Jamboree is the world camp of the Scout Movement, held once about every four years. In 2027 the host country is Poland.
Who is hosting
Związek Harcerstwa Polskiego (ZHP), the Polish Scouting association, is the host. The Organising Committee works as a foundation of ZHP (KRS 0001022285). The World Organization of the Scout Movement lists ZHP as the organiser of the 26th World Scout Jamboree.
Poland was chosen at the World Scout Conference in 2021. The Polish name of the camp is XXVI Światowe Jamboree Skautowe.
Where it sits
The campsite is on Wyspa Sobieszewska (Sobieszewo Island), on the Baltic coast of Gdańsk. The host describes the island as about twenty minutes from the city centre.
Gdańsk Lech Wałęsa Airport (GDN) serves the city. A high-speed rail line links the region toward Warsaw. The host places check-in, day visitors, and media in the downtown area, with the living camp on the island.
Bravely
The theme word is Bravely. The host builds the programme on three pillars: you; you and other people; you and the world. Seven themes run through the days: Planet Earth, Peace, Unity, Solidarity, Diversity, Self-balance, and Change.
On 1 August 2027 the camp marks 120 years of Scouting. The word Bravely stays in Latin letters on this site, with a gloss where the page is not in English.
Nec temere, nec timide
The motto of Gdańsk: neither rashly, nor timidly.
Who comes
The host plans for up to 50,000 people, counting participants, volunteers, and day visitors. Youth live in patrols of nine plus one Adult Patrol Leader. Four patrols make a unit. A Head of Contingent does not also serve as an Adult Patrol Leader or on the International Service Team.
What this site is
Bravely Field Notes is a personal, unofficial notebook. It does not register participants, sell official merchandise, or speak for ZHP or WOSM. The drawings avoid the fleur-de-lis, which is a trademark of the Movement.
