At today’s meeting with representatives of the scout delegation, the President praised the Junák organization. He mentioned that he works and develops children of different ages, strengthens their positive relationship with nature and other people, and cares for the long-term preservation of the values of democracy and humanity. He reminded that the scout organization also participates in many charitable and socially valuable projects. The Scouts presented the composition of their delegation to President Pavlo and informed him about their preparation for the jamboree.
According to the organizers, the World Scout Jamboree is an opportunity for young scouts to meet people of different nationalities, cultures, languages and religions. Individual national expeditions present their culture, traditions, customs, national food or scouting activities at the meeting. This year’s event in South Korea has the motto “Draw your Dream” and the prepared program will focus on topics such as active citizenship, sustainable development and smart technology. Participants can also enjoy trips, games, sports competitions, handicraft workshops, musical performances and other activities.
Girl scouts and boy scouts from the Czech Republic will introduce other participants to Czech games and puzzles, tourist destinations, culture, nature and landscape, costumes, inventive companies or traditional delicacies. “Of course, they will also show the pod tent, which Czech scouts have been using for camping for 110 years and which always arouses well-deserved amazement and curiosity at similar events,” said ČTK Trojak when asked.
In addition to the young participants of the event from 14 to 18 years old, who can participate in the jamboree only once in their life, the expedition will also include their leaders and adult volunteers who will ensure the operation and program of the event.
The Boy Scout Jamboree returns to Korea after 32 years, having been held there for the first time in 1991. The first worldwide jamboree was organized in 1920 by scouting founder Robert Banden-Powell in London. Since then, it has been held in a different country every four years. The exception was the period of the Second World War. The last jamboree was held in the United States, the next one will be hosted by Poland in 2027.
