Essex International Jamboree is an opportunity for Guides and Scouts from all over the world to come together and enjoy themselves. The true spirit of a Jamboree involves friendship and sharing new adventures. This action packed week will give thousands of young people the experience of a lifetime.

It is traditional for the Essex International Jamboree to have a theme and the 2012 theme is our world, our future.

 Every morning you'll wake up surrounded by thousands of people from around the world. You'll discover new cultures, learn a little of their language and meet a fellow Scout or Guide from another country, and all before breakfast.

Any Scout or Guide aged between 10 and 18 from around the world can come and experience the biggest international jamboree in the UK.

'There are things to do like watch movies, play games, and lots more. But one thing’s for sure… I will never forget this mind-blowing experience of mine!!!!!' Angus, Essex International Jamboree 2008
