As Volunteers’ Week comes to a close, we would like to say thank you to every volunteer who helps make Essex International Jamboree possible. Your time, energy, dedication, and enthusiasm create unforgettable experiences for thousands of young people and leaders. It takes over 1000 volunteers to make it happen so thank you for everything you do. We couldn’t do it without you.

Happy Founder’s and Thinking Day!

We’re thrilled to officially launch EIJ2028. The exec team has been busy planning for a few months and it is already shaping up to be something truly special.

Essex International Jamboree has a proud history of bringing people together, sharing new experiences, and creating memories that last a lifetime. Over the coming months, we’ll be sharing updates, opportunities to get involved, and a first look at what’s in store as we begin this incredible journey together.

Whether you’ve been part of past Jamborees or are joining us for the first time, we can’t wait to work alongside you to create an event that showcases the very best of Girlguiding and Scouting on an international stage.

Thank you for being part of the adventure, this is just the beginning!

Yours in Girlguiding & Scouting
