The UK Festival of Scouting and Guiding offers unique opportunities and experiences, bringing together 6,000 young people and their leaders to have fun, be joyful, make noise, celebrate, create friendships and experience great adventures. The sheer size of our festival allows participants to engage in activities and discoveries that they might not have encountered otherwise in their lives.
The festival theme focuses on sustainability and the protection of the environment in which we live, encouraging participants to become champions of change, positively make a difference to the world they will grow up in and create a more sustainable future.

Festival Families
As a family friendly festival, if the whole family wish to attend to help with a contingent or as staff, we offer a day time programme for younger family members. With both a daytime creche and junior club, those not old enough to participate won't miss out on the fun.
Festival Team
Our festival is only possible thanks to all the adult volunteers in support, whether staff or contingent leaders. Here you can find out who is co-ordinating different aspects of the festival to ensure as a team we make it as amazing as possible for all who take part.
Festival History
Our festival history begins with the Kent International Jamboree. We hope our past events give you a glimpse of what you might expect to experience in 2025.
