The Birthplace of Scouting: Brownsea Island
The World Scout Jamboree Returns to Its Origins
A Legacy of Adventure and Inspiration
In 1907, a young man named Robert Baden-Powell organized a camp on Brownsea Island in southern England. This camp would mark the beginning of the Scouting movement, a worldwide phenomenon that has inspired generations of young people to embrace adventure, teamwork, and service.
On August 1st, the World Organization of the Scout Movement will return to Brownsea Island to commemorate the "Sunrise of Scouting" and celebrate the movement's 115th anniversary. The jamboree will bring together 40,000 Scouts from around the globe for a week of fun, learning, and adventure.
Brownsea Island, now a stunning nature reserve owned by The National Trust, remains a place of inspiration for Scouts and non-Scouts alike. Its beautiful beaches, ancient woodlands, and bustling campgrounds provide a perfect setting for this historic event.
