Sidmouth Scouts Selected for 2027 World Scout Jamboree in Poland

Two Sidmouth College students have been selected to represent Devon Scouts at the 2027 World Scout Jamboree in Gdańsk, Poland.

Grace and Lucy completed a challenging selection weekend at Watcombe over half term and have earned a place in the UK contingent. The pair will join a unit of 36 Scouts from across the county and begin training together in preparation for the international event.

The World Scout Jamboree, held every four years, brings together young people from around the world for cultural exchange, adventure, and personal development.

Grace and Lucy’s achievement is a proud moment for Sidmouth College. The school supports students in pursuing a wide range of extracurricular opportunities, helping them develop resilience, responsibility and leadership skills. As part of the Ted Wragg Trust, Sidmouth College encourages learners to engage with the wider community and take an active role in contributing positively to society.

Alex Evans, Headteacher at Sidmouth College said: “We’re so proud of Grace and Lucy for being selected to join the UK contingent for the 2027 World Scout Jamboree. This is a fantastic achievement and shows the dedication and resilience they bring to everything they do. We’re excited to support them as they prepare for this amazing experience.”

Moria Marder, CEO of the Ted Wragg Trust said: “Well done to Grace and Lucy on this wonderful achievement. Across our schools we encourage students to take on challenges, explore new opportunities, and make a positive difference in their communities. Their selection for the World Scout Jamboree is a brilliant example of that in action.”
