The World Scout Jamboree is a significant international event that brings together scouts from all corners of the globe, fostering a sense of camaraderie, cultural exchange, and personal growth. This year's jamboree is expected to welcome an astounding 50,000 scouts from over 170 different countries, making it a truly global celebration of scouting values and principles.
A special ceremony was held on Monday, July 24, to mark the occasion and allow the delegation to meet before embarking on their journey to South Korea. The event was attended by the country's top dignitaries, emphasizing the significance that the Maldives places on scouting and the development of its youth.
The World Scout Jamboree will take place from August 1 to 12 and will mark the second time that the Korea Scout Association hosts this prestigious event.

Through a series of engaging activities, workshops, and challenges, the jamboree will encourage participants to embrace values such as teamwork, respect for others, and a sense of responsibility towards their communities and the environment. The experiences gained during the jamboree are certain to shape these young individuals into compassionate, well-rounded global citizens who will contribute positively to society.
