Every year, thousands of volunteers from across the UK come together at Gilwell Park to reconnect, learn from one another, celebrate achievements and be inspired for the year ahead.

Gilwell Reunion is one of the highlights of the Scouting calendar, bringing together volunteers who share a passion for helping young people gain Skills for Life.

Every year, as summer draws to a close, Gilwell Park bursts into life — filled with energy, laughter, and thousands of volunteers reconnecting, learning and celebrating all that Scouting achieves.

We’re looking for someone to help lead the Gilwell Reunion, working alongside an incredible national team to make that magic happen.
