Journey to the beautiful countryside of Lincolnshire, England for one of the UK’s largest and most exciting scouting events—Poacher International Scouting Jamboree. Tent camp under the stars with over 5,000 Scouts and Guides from around the world, and dive into a week packed with fun, friendship, and unforgettable experiences.

About the Trip

Poacher offers hundreds of adventurous and creative activities—from kayaking and archery to hovercrafts, go-karting, circus arts, and more. Explore the Water Village, enjoy live entertainment, and take part in trips to local attractions. Every moment is designed to spark joy, curiosity, and connection.

You’ll make global connections, with our local Girl Guide hosts and with Scouts and Guides from around the world. We’ll visit the Global Development Village—a space to explore world issues like conflict resolution, health, poverty, and the environment through hands-on activities and expert-led sessions. Earn your GDV badge as you learn, reflect, and grow.
