Jamborees
Scout Jamborees are held all over the world every year (mostly in Summer). Scouting Ireland also runs International Jamborees from time to time; It would be a very worthwhile experience to attend one of these, particularly if your Scout Group is not in a position to travel abroad. Our next Jamboree in Ireland is JamboRi and it takes place in 2018.
Every four years, a World Scout Jamboree is held. Scouting Ireland generally sends a contingent to these consisting of a Contingent Management Team, adult Scouters, youth members and International Support Staff. There are great opportunities for young people and adults to meet other Scouts at world events like this.

Hosting international groups
From time to time the International Team receives requests from Scout Groups from other countries to meet up with or hold joint camps in Ireland with Irish Scout Groups. This information is disseminated through the Provincial International Representatives who are part of the International Team. If this is something which may be of interest to you contact the International Team at the email address below.
