Volunteers needed for KIJ
11 September 2024
After the amazing feedback from this years EIJ we are excited to announce our next UK International Jamboree. For 2025 we will be taking a district contingent to Kent International Jamboree (KIJ).
KIJ25, The 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. It’s a chance for young people to come together from different parts of the world and interact with Scouts and Guides from various cultures and backgrounds. This cultural exchange can be eye-opening and educational, fostering an understanding of different faiths, beliefs, and customs.
Moreover, The Festival provides a platform for participants to explore a wide range of activities, spanning hundreds of different options some of which for our festival, will be a first for Scouting. This diverse array of activities helps young people broaden their horizons and develop new skills and interests.
This event takes place 2nd – 9th August 2025 and we will be bringing young people from across the District. As with many of these events spaces are limited and even for adults. We are now welcoming applications to be part of the Event Leadership Team and we are encouraging applicants from across the District. You will need to be able to commit to attending the full event and our intro weekend 4th – 6th April 2025. In return we will cover at least 50% of the your ticket, food, coach travel, district necker and an Basingstoke East event hoody. Adult ticket costs are £100 and we will cover at least half of this but are working hard to cover more, this means the most you’ll pay is £50.
