We’re proud to reveal the official badge for Unit 68 – Wiltshire Scouts: Moonraker Vanguard heading to the 26th World Scout Jamboree, Poland 2027

Inspired by Wiltshire’s legendary Moonrakers, our design reflects clever thinking, teamwork, and a spirit of adventure — combined with the idea of a Vanguard, leading from the front. From the standing stones to the white horse, this badge represents where we come from and where we’re going.

What do you think?
We’d love to hear your thoughts and see your reactions!

Training Camp 1 ✅️

A busy weekend in Corsham for Unit 68 on our first training camp for the 2027 World Scout Jaboree.

Our Scouts took part in some speed dating and teambuilding exercises to get to know each other better before coming together to start forming our new unit identity.

Some unusual wildlife was encountered around town during our evening hike.

We also wrote letters to our future selves with our aims and ambitions for the jamboree and time leading up to it.
