The 26th World Scout Jamboree in Poland is looking for an energetic and skilled Beatboxing Instructor to train and inspire members of the International Service Team (IST) assigned to the Music Activity.

• Provide IST with tools to lead basic beatboxing activities for youth during the Jamboree. 

• Collaborate with the music team to integrate beatboxing into wider musical performances or jam sessions. 

• Support IST in using beatboxing as a tool for cultural exchange, self-expression, and fun. 

• Offer guidance on using microphones, loop stations, or group rhythm structures (if applicable). 

Knowledge and skills:  

• Friendly, patient, and adaptable communication style. 

• Ability to energise a group, build rapport, and encourage participation regardless of skill level. 

• Understanding of scouting values and the collaborative spirit of international camps (preferred but not required). 

• Open to cultural diversity and working in a multilingual, dynamic environment. 

 

Background experience:  

• Strong background in beatboxing, vocal percussion, or hip-hop music.
