Following the success of KIJ25 where over 7,000 Scouts and Guides from across the globe enjoyed our amazing Festival, we are now looking to 2029.

KIJ takes a vast number of volunteers to make the magic happen, and we are looking for people to take the lead and head up a number of our teams ready for 2029. Could you be our next Programme Lead? Could you be someone who could take care of provisions such as the site infrastructure or technical production? Maybe, potentially, are you our next Camp Chief? Or one of the many other team leading roles we will need to make 2029 an even bigger success?

If you think you could take the lead and offer something special to make KIJ29 bigger and better than ever, then we want to hear from you! Alternatively, maybe you know of someone else who has the skills and leadership qualities... feel free to put their name forward so we can reach out to them too.

Please note... On the form we haven’t explicitly listed any roles, this is because we don’t want to limit applicants and put them in a box. However, please remember (at this point in time) we are only looking for LEAD roles and further roles will be advertised in due course.

Scarves. Badges. Woggles. Stories. Memories. Friendships.

It's what the Jamboree is all about! One young lad threw himself into the spirit of things and managed to collect 33 different Neckers, and a huge number of badges!

The person in question recently had an operation, and was told no high impact activity for a few months. But his Scout Group made sure they had a plan and got him to KIJ25! And boy did he make the most of making memories for life!

A huge thanks goes to his group for making sure he was part of something this special!

Do you have an inspirational story to tell from KIJ25? If so why not share it with us in the comments below!

Our Phenomenal Camp Chief, Andy Trill, who had a mission to make this the best jamboree yet. (I think he pulled it out of the bag!)

Arriving to his first jamboree in a black taxi back in 2013, it was the perfect end to leave his last jamboree in a black taxi last night.

We are SO grateful of all the hard work this man has put in to this festival, it well and truly has been the biggest & best one yet ❤
