Activity Program: The program will consist of a range of fun activities, including activity bases for WSJ Patrols to get to know each other, challenge each other, and, most importantly, have some fun! A portion of the activity program will be in an off-site location, where a range of challenges will be set for the Patrols. Youth and Leaders will be transported by bus (Coach or MiniBus) to the off-site location.
There will also be opportunities for Q&A with the Australian Contingent Team. Units & Patrols will get opportunities to bond, meet each other for the first time and begin their journey to Poland 2027.
IST Members will be allocated to a range of roles across the weekend, including running Activities, Catering, Sites & Services, Transport, Q-Store, Admin, Welfare & First Aid, etc. Further details for IST's roles at camp will be provided prior to the event.
Catering: There is a set menu for the camp. Food will be provided via a Camp Q-Store. Each Jamboree Unit will prepare, cook and eat together. Unit Leaders will be advised of the equipment required and further details in the lead-up to the event.
IST will have a dedicated Catering Patrol (made up of the IST team), who will cater for IST. They will be following the same set menu with the food available from the Q-Store.
Equipment & Packing List: These will be provided close to the event.
