The 25th World Scout Jamboree has set a strong foundation for the future, proving that even in the face of adversity, the spirit of Scouting continues to thrive.

The 25th World Scout Jamboree, held in Saemangeum, South Korea, from August 1 to 12, 2023, brought together over 43,000 Scouts from 158 countries under the theme “Draw Your Dream.” This event provided a unique platform for Scouts to engage in cultural exchange, leadership development, and global citizenship, fostering lifelong friendships and valuable learning experiences.

Despite the excitement, the Jamboree faced significant challenges, including an unexpected heatwave and the arrival of Typhoon Khanun, which tested the resilience of both participants and organizers. These challenges were met with swift and effective responses, showcasing the adaptability and determination of the Scouting community. In light of the approaching typhoon, the decision was made to relocate the final events to Seoul, ensuring the safety and comfort of all participants.

The Jamboree culminated in a spectacular closing ceremony held at the Seoul World Cup Stadium, where Scouts from around the world gathered to celebrate their shared achievements and the friendships they had formed. The event was a fitting conclusion to a Jamboree that, despite its challenges, succeeded in bringing together young people from across the globe in a spirit of unity and adventure.

As we look forward to future World Scout Jamborees, the experiences and lessons learned from this event will guide us in creating even more enriching and well-prepared gatherings. The 25th World Scout Jamboree has set a strong foundation for the future, proving that even in the face of adversity, the spirit of Scouting continues to thrive.
