The World Scout Moot is an international gathering of over 5,000 Scouts aged 18 to 25 years old from around the world, coming together to share cultures, learn from each other and gain new skills.
Every four years, the Moot takes place in a different host country. The first Moot took place in 1931 in Switzerland, and most recently was hosted by Iceland in 2017.
Participant experience at a Moot is split into two halves, the first half is a ‘Path’, exploring the host country in a patrol made up of Scouts from different nationalities. The second half is an on-site Jamboree-style camp along with joining up with all the other participants.
The next Moot will take place in Portugal from 25 July to 3 August 2025, and Scouts intends to organise a UK National Contingent of several hundred members, to prepare for and travel to this event.
Applications are now open for Participants and IST to apply to join the UK Contingent to the World Scout Moot 2025. Find out more and apply before Mon 1 April 2024.
