Kandersteg
28th July - 4th August 2025
Background
The dream of Sir Robert Baden-Powell, founder of the World Scout Movement.
London, 1920, Olympia: Baden-Powell delivers an electrifying speech that sparks a global search for the first International Scout Centre. A place where bravery, tolerance, compassion and friendship can thrive, where Scouts of the world can come together and feel like they belong. A place that feels like home. Fast forward three years and that dream came alive in the Swiss Alps. We opened our doors on 21st May 1923, and the rest is history.
The Permanent Mini Jamboree
Where you can meet the world in the Alps.
More than just a Scout Centre, we believe in international cooperation. That’s why we do what we do. To show the world what’s possible when young people come together from different backgrounds, cultures and nationalities. This is true for our guests and staff.

Passports and Global Medical cards.
In ensuring the safety and preparedness of all scouts under our guidance, we're prioritizing thorough planning and attention to detail. Recognizing the importance of travel documentation and medical preparedness, we're emphasizing the necessity for all participants to possess current passports with at least nine months validity remaining as of the 1st of August 2025. Additionally, scouts should proactively provide additional valuable resources, such as global medical cards, which are available for free from the NHS website, well in advance to scout leaders.
Any specific medication that a scout requires regularly, or can be provided on demand, must be clearly labelled under the same name as on the passport and medical card. We will be taking detailed instructions well in advance to determine and manage the best approach on
By equipping scouts and leaders alike with these essential documents and resources, it ensures that everyone is adequately prepared for any adventure or expedition, promoting safety, security, and peace of mind for all involved.
