We have a little update for you all!

Over the past couple of months we have been chatting to a wide range of Scout and Guide volunteers, asking the question of 'How can we make KIJ25 more accessible for you?', their answer, in a nutshell, was 'Time'.

So, having listened and taken on that feedback, we have decided to keep bookings for KIJ25 open in order to allow the groups committed to coming, the opportunity to be able to have time to raise funds, make payments and complete bookings.

Bookings can't remain open forever, but we want to make KIJ25 one of the most accessible Jamborees around and support those who wish to be part of it.

A huge thank you to all the groups who are already booked and paid, we are very much looking forward to you joining us for this awesome event next summer! It will be phenomenal!

If you haven't booked your summer camp for 2025, now is your chance to be part of something amazing! Join us in the Garden of England for The Festival of Scouting and Guiding... Kent International Jamboree 2025!

SCOUTS AND GUIDES ACROSS THE GLOBE...

KIJ25 - The Festival of Scouting and Guiding has a new website, a new theme and the best news of 2024 so far is...

BOOKINGS ARE NOW OPEN!!!!

We’ve taken a huge amount of time and care to ensure that KIJ 2025 is a jamboree like no other. We’ll of course have those ‘big ticket items’ that – if you’ve been to KIJ before - you’d expect from us. But there’s so much more beyond that; we really are making it bigger, better and bolder. It’s a huge leap forward and the bringing together of not just those characteristics that make a jamboree - friendship, community and engagement - but the colour, the life and the energy from a festival.

Expect from us not just ‘UK firsts’ but ‘World firsts’ too: this is with our organisation, with our programme but, above all, with our theme, with inspiration taken from ‘One Planet’, focuses on how each of us individually can make a difference to our
environment but, together, we can change the world. We’re working closely with local, national and international organisations to help shape the ideals and the practicalities around this...

So what you waiting for?! Head over to the website and find out all about "The Festival of Scouting and Guiding", the place to be in the summer of 2025!
