Selection Success! Four Aspley Guise Scouts are chosen for World Scout Jamboree
Aspley Guise Scouts are delighted to announce that four young people from the group have been chosen to represent Bedfordshire at the World Scout Jamboree in Poland in 2027.
The World Scout Jamboree is a global gathering of Scouts and Guides that brings young people and volunteers together to make international friends, explore new cultures, and enjoy an inspiring programme of activities.
Ryan, Eleanor, Sam, and Rory are among 36 scouts who have been selected from the county to go to the once-in-a-lifetime event.
The process initially involved submitting a written, audio or video application. Group leaders then whittled the applicants down to 100 who then attended a weekend selection event in Bromham. The young people took part in a wide range of team-building activities in which they demonstrated their commitment, enthusiasm and curiosity in different tasks. The final 36 were then chosen to travel to Poland between 30th July and 8th August 2027.
Over the coming months the young people have a huge task on their hands – to each raise £3,500 to pay for their trip, as well as to support less fortunate scouts to attend from around the world. They’ll be creating crafts to sell at local fayres and markets; packing bags at supermarkets; running events for other children within the scouting group; and will also be hoping for some financial support from local businesses.

Ryan — World Scout Jamboree, Poland 2027
At only 12, Ryan is one of the youngest scouts to have been selected to represent Bedfordshire. He loves the outdoors; running and cycling; learning new skills; and he’s always willing to get stuck in and give everything a go. He’s looking forward to the fundraising challenges that lie ahead and gaining a huge amount of work experience along the way. He’s hoping that the World Scout Jamboree will be an amazing opportunity to make new friends both at home and overseas as well as strengthen the visibility of the scouts in the local community.
