Bulletin #01 February 2021
Welcome to
the 25th World Scout Jamboreee
A warm welcome from Korea to all Scouts around the world.
The preparations for the 25th World Scout Jamboree be-
gan in 2011 with the intent of holding a global event that
would help to contribute to the revitalization of the Scout
Movement in Korea, while at the same time commem-
orating the 100th anniversary of Korea Scout Association
and preparing for the next 100 years of Scouting in Korea.
The 25th World Scout Jamboree will be a remarkable ex-
perience taking place 100 years after the Scout Movement
began in Korea, and 32 years after hosting the 17th World
Scout Jamboree in Mt. Seorak, Goseong, Gangwon-do in
1991.
The 25th World Scout Jamboree is prepared to offer var-
ious educational programmes based on the concept of
“4S+ACT” to support young people from all over the world
to develop Scout friendships and realise their dreams of
global peace, unity and sustainability.
*4S: Scouting for Life, Smart & Scientific, Safe & Secured, Sustainability
*ACT: Adventure, Culture, Tradition
The theme of the Jamboree is “Draw your Dream!”, rep-
resenting our willingness to accept young people’s ide-
as and opinions, and create an opportunity for them to
make their Jamboree dreams come true.
Please join in making this Jamboree yours by sharing your
ideas and dreams with us!

▶ Dream Seed Project
The 25th World Scout Jamboree will feature new
and exciting programmes by recruiting brilliant
ideas from Scouts all around the world from now
until 2022.
Based on the ideas that Scouts provide we will
design a unique Dream Seed Project to make your
Jamboree dreams come true.
Scouting in Korea counts down
1,000 days until the Jamboree
The dream of the 25th World Scout Jamboree has begun!
On 4 November, Korea Scout Association and Organising
Committee for the Jamboree convened a safe celebra-
tion from the Jamboree site in SaeManGeum to highlight
preparations for the event and start the countdown of
1,000 days until the 25th World Scout Jamboree.
The online event, which was live streamed and can be
watched on the Jamboree’s official YouTube channel, fea-
tured dance performances from local K-pop bands, video
messages from Scouts around the world, and speeches
from local and international dignitaries.

and ends with departures on Saturday, 12 August 2023.
The first meal for participants will be served on the evening

Jamboree theme : Draw your Dream!
“Draw your Dream!” expresses the desire for members of
the Scout Movement to transform the 25th World Scout
Jamboree into their own festival and to grow their dreams
through the event. SaeManGeum will be shaped into a
spacious recreational ground, giving young Scouts from
around the world an opportunity to pursue their hopes
and dreams throughout the Jamboree.
Jamboree Logo
The logo for the 25th World Scout Jamboree symbolises
the gathering of Scouts from around the world who will
come together under one tent in Korea to enjoy the Jam-
boree experience. The logo is designed in the shape of
traditional Korean tiled roof (Giwa-jibung) and tents, and
embodies the spirit of joyful festivals that take place in
Korea. As the Jamboree is an official event of the World
Organization of the Scout Movement the World Scout Em-
blem is also featured.
As members of WOSM, NSOs (and by extension NSAs)
will be entitled to use the World Scout event logo for
non-commercial purposes, in accordance with WOSM’s
general licensing conditions, as published in the World
Scout Brand Identity Guide.
Design guidelines will shortly be available for NSOs, spec-
ifying the approved use of the logo, including different
permissible versions, minimum usage size, and approved
applications. Any commercial or non-commercial licens-
ing arrangements will also be detailed in this document.
The World Scout Emblem is a protected symbol and is
therefore subject to licensing restrictions.

Eligibility Contingent Management Team

• Participant and leader eligibility
To be an eligible youth participant at the 25th World
Scout Jamboree, you must have been born between
22 July 2005 and 31 July 2009. If you are older on the
given date, you may be able to apply to become a
member of the International Service Team, Contin-
gent Management Team or a unit leader. The exact
age eligibility has been approved by the World Scout
Committee.
Members of the World Association of Girl Guides and Girl
Scouts (WAGGGS) may take part in the 25th World Scout
Jamboree under the conditions agreed to between WOSM
and WAGGGS as follows:
Organising and running a successful Jamboree contin-
gent is a big job. It is recommended that each NSO or-
ganises a Contingent Management Team (CMT), which is
a team of adult leaders to support their participants led
by a Head of Contingent. Each CMT will have a headquar-
ter on the Jamboree site and will camp in the adult camp
area. The CMT is a group of leaders with knowledge and
experience in financial management, international trav-
el, taking care of young people, and international Scout-
ing. The CMT is also an ideal environment for developing
skills in the next generation of leaders. The number of CMT
members is limited based on the number of participants
in the contingent, as shown in the following chart.

• For Scout and Guide national organisations (i.e., mem-

ree, about 10,000 volunteers are needed to serve on the

Jamboree Fee

The Jamboree fees will be considered and approved by

the World Scout Committee at their meeting in March and
communicated with NSOs in April.

Jamboree programme highlights

The 25th World Scout Jamboree is working to create an

exciting experience that will enable young people to re-
alise their dreams, make friendships with people from
different cultures, and take part in a safe, inclusive and
sustainable programme during the event. The Jamboree
is designed around several core programme elements.
Scouting for Life
Many of the programme features will engage young peo-
ple in developing leadership and life skills through Scout-
ing activities, and will challenge participants to learn
about global issues and becoming active citizens. These
programme elements will incorporate Scouting’s values
and methods, as well as ideas around global citizenship
education and education for sustainable development.
Sustainability
Together with global, regional and national partners, the
Jamboree programme will be comprised of activities that
engage young people in learning about the Sustainable
Development Goals and taking action for peace and sus-
tainable development in their communities. Through the
Better World Tent and Global Development Village, Scouts
will learn how to connect with nature, create a culture of
peace and dialogue, promote diversity and inclusion, and
more.

Smart & Scientific

The Jamboree programme will use the latest technology
to enable participants and contingents to connect, stay
up-to-date with information, and take part in variety of
activities through the official Jamboree app. Participants
will be able to experience the future through everything
from robot technology to virtual reality. A specific stream
of the programme will focus on STEAM skills, offering
young people the chance to join in activities and learn
about the fields of science, technology, engineering, the
arts and mathematics.
Safe & Secure
The Jamboree programme will be designed to prevent
and respond to communicable diseases, natural dis-
asters, and other emergencies, while providing safety
education programmes developed by Korea Scout As-
sociation. The “Disaster Safety Programme” will not only
improve the safety response ability of participants, but
will also help them grow into citizens who can act as re-
sponders in the case of emergencies.
ACT : Adventure, Culture, Tradition
The Jamboree programme will offer various adventure
activities that use the environment around SaeManGe-
um, including the mountains, rivers and seas to enable
Scouts to connect with and discover nature. The event will
also engage participants in cross-cultural exchange to
experience the best of Korean culture and tradition from
K-pop music to Bibimbap food to the Hangul alphabet,
and much more.
Communication with National Scout
Organizations
During the next three years, we will be publishing official
Jamboree Bulletins (like this Bulletin 1) and Jamboree Cir-
culars in order to provide NSOs and their CMTs with in-
formation to prepare for the 25th World Scout Jambo-
ree. These bulletins and circulars will be communicated
through ScoutPak, which is distributed regularly by the
World Scout Bureau as the official communication to all
NSOs. In addition, your contingent can also access infor-
mation through the official Jamboree social media ac-
counts and website at www.2023wsjkorea.org.
