International Service Team
As well as being a fantastic opportunity for young people, the event can be a hugely rewarding opportunity for adults in Scouting too, as well as great fun! The International Service Team work directly for the Jamboree organisers, although they are part of the UK Contingent. They are the people who deliver the Jamboree on a day-to-day basis, in other words they make the Jamboree happen. IST from all over the world work in international teams to do everything on-site, from delivering programme, to serving in shops, to washing up and emptying bins. But no matter what job you are given, you can be sure of a great time, making new friends for life and experiencing the wonders of a World Scout Jamboree first hand.
The fee for IST will not be more than £1350 and we are working hard to reduce this further. The fee includes travel to and from the Jamboree site, your Jamboree fee, food, uniform items, badges etc. In addition we hope to announce details of a no travel option before applications open. This will enable you to travel to the Jamboree under your own steam at a lower cost.
