What about the leaders?

EIJ 2024 is not just your average jamboree – it's a rollercoaster of experiences waiting to happen! As you prepare to lead your groups into this international Scouting and Guiding extravaganza, let's dive into the exciting world that awaits you.

Be a Jamboree Maker for the day

Have you ever wondered what it would be like to be part of Staff? Well, now is your chance. We will have opportunities throughout the week for you to join our teams and help out - that could be on one of Programme Zones or indeed the shop! The opportunities will be announced each day on your Subcamp, so please join the fun and be a Maker for the day!

Support us at our busiest times

As you can imagine some times are very busy, and we need leader support to manage the different areas. To make this easier to manage we are asking two subcamps every day to step up and be marshals - we'll give you a full explanation of what's required and of course the hi-vis! Our team of 'all-time' marshals will support you to help ensure you have a great time being a marshal. Please volunteer when your subcamp leader asks.

In the evenings, we will ask for representatives from both Subcamps to join up as our Evening Marshalls.

Your Subcamp team will explain this all to you, and if you have any questions please contact them

Learning and Development

There are workshops and seminars to fine-tune and develop your leadership skills, to become the best leader possible. Please ensure that your Group is looked after and has the right number of leaders before booking a session. Our team have worked hard to put together the programme that uses the Scouts modules as a foundation but certainly will prove interesting for everyone - Girlguiding, Scouts, International - for everyone. Simply book on here.

Get to meet people from all over the world

EIJ 2024 is like a mini United Nations of Scouting and Girlguiding. Brush up on your global hellos and get ready to make friends from every corner of the world. It's not just a jamboree; it's a cultural exchange extravaganza.

Subcamp fun

Subcamps at EIJ 2024 take you on a whistle stop global tour. Each subcamp has its unique international flavour. Visit them all, catch up with old friends and make new! Perhaps you could form links with international groups?

Retail Therapy Scout & Guide-Style

Need a break from all the action? Head to the shops and cafes where you can grab some EIJ merch and refuel with some yummy treats.

On-Stage Shenanigans

The on-stage entertainment is not your average camping skitts. Brace yourselves for performances that will have you on your feet, possibly attempting dance moves you never knew you had. It's a show, a party, and a spectacle rolled into one.

Have-a-Go Evening - Your Turn to Shine

Ever wished you could try archery, It’s a Knockout, kayaking or climbing? The 'Have-a-Go Evening' is your chance to unleash your inner adventurer. Spoiler alert: You might discover a new hidden talent. Read more about everything available here.

Swapping Extravaganza

Let's talk swaps, badges, and stories. Swapping is like a treasure trove of memories waiting to be uncovered. Swap stories, make connections, and leave with a badge collection that tells your unique EIJ tale.

So, leaders, get ready to lead, laugh, and live it up at EIJ 2024.

It's not just a Jamboree; it's an adventure waiting to be written, and you're holding the pen. See you in the subcamps, on stage, and maybe even at the badge swap - let the jamboree journey of a lifetime begin!
