Imagine the summer of 2026: you’re sitting around the campfire, inside a majestic black tent (a Jurte as you’ve learned) and you look back on 10 action- and adventure-packed days with your new scouting friends…How did all of this happen? I mean, you just took the first step by imagining it, everything else from here on out will be easy 😉

Every four years, the VCP (Verband Christlicher Pfadfinder*innen) organizes a national jamboree with over 4000 scouts from all over Germany and hundreds of international guests and in 2026 (30.07.-08.08.2026), you could be part of it! Either as a participant of an international scouting group (13-23 years old) or individually (24+) as a member of the International Service Team (IST).

Every international group will have a German partner group during the camp who will help you settle in, guide you through the program, cook together with you and hopefully become your new best friends!

The camp has the theme “unwritten”, and we want to explore together which parts of our stories are still waiting to be imagined and written. I hope you are ready for 10 days of creativity, games, songs, competition, learning new skills…10 days of scout adventure!

And with the camp being in the heart of Germany (Almke, Wolfsburg), it’s a great opportunity to explore more of Germany before or after the camp together.

Interested? Then you can fill out the pre-registration form already today to indicate your interest. The pre-registration is open until the end of November. We will get back to you with more information and start looking for a host group for you, or in case you already have scout friends in Germany, you are welcome to partner up with them!
