The 26th Australian Scout Jamboree (AJ2025) will be the experience of a lifetime for 10,000 Scouts and Venturer Scouts. The theme of AJ2025 is ‘Your Quest Your Way’ challenges participants to craft their own journey as they tackle ten days of incredible activities. The Jamboree program incorporates a mix of onsite, offsite, and evening activities with something on offer for everyone.
Both Scouts and Venturer Scouts are eligible to create their own quest in January 2025, with Venturer Scouts aged 15 and 16 years of age eligible to join the Jamboree program as participants. Venturer Scouts aged 17 years and over are invited to join us at the Jamboree in a event support capacity.
January 2025 will see the first ever Australian Scout Jamboree fully aligned to the new program. Activities are based around Challenge Areas, Outdoor Adventure Skills and Special Interest Areas. Participates, Assists and Leads will be built in and Scouts will have the opportunity to Plan>Do>Review their Jamboree as a whole, as well as each activity. Every element of the program will be adventurous, challenging, inclusive and fun.
