Activities
Activity catalog and sign up for acitivities.
The activity catalog will be published in april. You will be able to read about the free (Drop-in) and sign-up activities available in the activity areas at the camp. You will find activities for all age groups.
Shortly after publishing the catalog we will open the activity-registration. It is expected that the system will be open for 3 weeks, during which you will be able to wish for activities. This gives the leaders time to talk to their Scouts about what they would like to do at camp. The system will then close again for a short period of time while activities are allocated according to the wishes. Finally, the system opens again and all remaining spaces can be booked. Available activities can be booked throughout the camp.
With this method we aim to ensure as fair a distribution of activities as possible and to give leaders an opportunity to involve the Scouts without all the most popular activities becoming fully booked in the meantime.
Further information will follow when the activity catalog is published and registration opens.
Activity areas
The camp’s major activity areas are named after the corners of the world.
Activity Square North: This will be the location of the sub-camp day for subcamp “forest” and “Sea”. A stage is also located at this area where there will be shows for everyone during the week.
Activity Square South: Is located in Hedeland’s gravel pit, where the larger, wilder and more space-consuming activities will be located. Here you can also visit the landmark from Spejdernes Lejr 2022.
Activity Square East: Is located in extension of the Camp Square. Here the scouts will learn more about international scouting, spirituality and sustainability. The sub-camp days for “Country” and “City” will be located here. There will also be a stage with shows available to all participants.
Activity Square West: Is a large and vibrant area filled with educational and fun activities where scouts can easily spend a whole day. Here you’ll also find cafés and food trucks, as well as the opportunity to get your packed lunches chilled and your water bottles filled.
Flintesø: Where the “Scout Meeting” is located (more information about this can be found in Information package 2).
Store Scene: is located at the foot of the Hedeland ski slope where, in addition to the two large campfires, other major camp events will also be held.
Outside the camp: There are also several activity areas outside the campsite, including Roskilde, Høje-Taastrup, Veddelev Havn, Roskilde University and at “Fremtidens Spejderhytte” on the edge of Hedeland.
Buses to activities
Activity-buses will transport participants to the activity areas located outside the camp. Departure will be from a central bus stop at subcamp “Sea” (Havet). A bus ticket with route and time is automatically included when you sign up for an activity that takes place outside the camp.
In Roskilde you can meet Vikings or spend the night in the cathedral. From Veddelev Harbor, scouts will be able to experience sailing on Roskilde Fjord. Roskilde University is home to the FabLab, among other things. In Høje Taastrup, scouts can learn more about sustainable food. At “Fremtidens spejderhytte”, the focus is on scouting in the past, present and future.
Reflection and Spirituality
The church
The aim is for the scouts to encounter the stories and values of Christianity in different ways, sometimes in silence, sometimes through play, creativity, singing and fun. Scouts can look forward to a good mix of free and enrollment activities, such as the church’s own escape room with ancient prophecies, star maps and mysterious clues. There will also be pop-up activities, beatbox services, taizé, morning devotions, evening devotions and much more. There are activities and experiences for all ages.
Camp worship service
The big camp service takes place on Sunday, July 19 at 13:00.
The Mosque
The Semerkand Scouts host the camp’s mosque, where everyone is welcome to stop by, ask questions, participate in prayer or just be curious. There are both daily prayers and Friday prayers.
Gathering
This is where the camp comes together, finds peace and feels that everyone belongs together and belongs. The goal of Gathering is to create an open, cross-body space where everyone can participate and together we can find out what Gathering means for the individual and our community.
Calm, reflection, faith, meeting people and the hymn are different expressions of the same thing: Making space for each other, meeting each other openly and taking time to both feel and share the thoughts that make us stronger scouts and people.
The gathering area at Activity Square East becomes the heart of reflection, contemplation and those moments when you can feel the spirit of scouting in your belly. Here we work with what binds us together through the community we are all part of, regardless of scarf color, faith or background. In the Gathering Area you will find, among other things:
Samlingspunktet, som er placeret midt i samlingsområdet, er et stort telt fyldt med ro, nærvær og plads til de store og små samtaler. Det er et frirum, der inviterer til fordybelse og ro, hvor spejderånden folder sig ud i nye former. Her kan spejderne tage en pause. Der vil også undervejs være inspirerende oplæg og små talks.
Hour of reflection
The Hour of Reflection is scheduled for Wednesday evening at 19:30. This is where the whole camp steps out of the activity rut and makes space to reflect, talk together and cultivate spirituality.
The Hour of Reflection is a quiet evening activity and a kind of culture night in first gear. During the Hour of Reflection, you can experience different activities and events with a focus on slowing down and finding peace so that thoughtfulness and reflection can occur. A small breathing space in the middle of the camp where the first days’ impressions can soak in and make room for more impressions for the rest of the camp.
Some of the activities available during the other activity periods will be in a format adapted to the Hour of Reflection, so that they take place at a slower pace and focus on reflection and contemplation. In addition, there will be activities planned exclusively for the Hour of Reflection that cannot be experienced at any other time. A more detailed program and catalog for the Hour of Refelction will follow closer to the camp.
The activities will primarily be at eye level with age groups from 8-17 years, but also for adults and children under 8 years. Children under 8 are recommended to be accompanied by an adult.
Time for reflection. The Hour of Reflection gives participants the opportunity to think about their own values, habits and general way of being in life. The activities play a part in this, so you leave the Hour of Reflection with food for thought.
Space to talk together. Many different cultures and traditions come together at SL26, which is why it is an ideal place to reflect on your own point of view. A main focus of the Hour of Reflection is therefore to make room for differences to meet so that people can learn more about themselves and each other. In some activities, the focus is on dialog.
An opportunity to cultivate spirituality. Whether you carry your faith in your bag, left it at home, or have none at all, the Hour of Reflection provides a space for spirituality to be discussed, explored and possibly developed. If nothing else, it can be exciting to learn about others’ relationships with spirituality.
International Hub
The word “hub” means focal point. The International Hub is the hub for all activities that focus on international scouting and scouting as a global movement.
The Friendship Award badge
The Friendship Award badge is achieved by the scouts by completing tasks and participating in activities with their patrols. All tasks have in common that they focus on building friendship and understanding across cultures and nationalities. The badge can be done throughout the camp and does not need to be completed in a single day. More information will follow later.
International Café
In the International Café, Scouts can meet new friends and taste delicacies from near and far together.
International Day
Thursday is International Day, where there will be an extra focus on international scouting. A major international joint activity will be offered in each sub-camp. The subcamp “City” (Byen) can experience the international joint activity on Tuesday, as they are participating in the subcamp day on Thursday.
International Campfire
International Day (Thursday) will end with the International Campfire, where everyone can enjoy the international scouting spirit. The campfire will be in English.
International tent and international activity area
These are located at Camp Square and Activity Area East. Here the scouts can be inspired to learn about the possibilities of traveling and experiencing the world as a scout or participate in various international activities. There will be opportunities to seek inspiration and concrete knowledge of how to use international material at home in the group or how to plan a trip out into the world. If the scouts dream of making a difference organizationally in WAGGGS (World Association of Girl Guides and Girl Scouts) or WOSM (World Organisation of the Scout Movement), then the International Hub will be be the place to come seek inspiration and knowledge.
What will happen?
In addition to the hundreds of activities we are also planning 5 big events which will gather the participants and create unique experiences together at Jamboree Denmark 2026.
The big Campfires
Everyone will come together for the opening and closing campfires for a night of entertainment, singing and storytelling. We will celebrate the spirit of scouting and community while we create memories to last a lifetime.
Subcamp day
A whole day dedicated to community and collaboration in the subcamps. The activities are adjusted for different agegroups and are based on creativity, teamwork and reflection. The day takes place at each sub-camp, where the scouts create a unique and locally rooted experience.
The Scout Summit
In the middle of the week we focus on democracy, society and community. Scouts can participate in activities, play games and debate about democracy, sustainability and future challenges. The Scout Summit is a big community event where we celebrate democracy, volunteerism and the positive change we can create together.
Hour of Reflection
This time provides a space for reflection and understanding what we experience during the jamboree. The event will happen on Wednesday evening at 19.30-21.30.
Read more about the Hour of reflection further under: “Reflection and spirituality.
MEGA-event
The MEGA event will be a very special experience for 12 to 18-year-old scouts: an energetic, unique event just for young people where the atmosphere, music and community will be turned up.
Here you really feel how the scouting community reaches far beyond the campsite and how together we can create something great, whether you’re in the middle of the camp or following along from home.
Time: Monday from 20.00-22.00
Your great idea?
At Activities and Events we are always on the lookout for exiting and innovative ideas. Whether it is about baking the biggest cake in the world, creating a challenging nighttime activity or other elements which can make the jamboree even more memorable.

Nearby activities
Scouts from all over the country attend the Scout Camp, and we want the scouts to have the opportunity to experience the area around the camp. Therefore, we are already in good dialogue with many local associations and cultural institutions to create exciting and different activities for the participants as well as the citizens of Roskilde and Høje-Taastrup Municipality.

Veddelev Harbor
Among other things, we collaborate with Veddelev Harbor to organize sea scouting activities with around 40 dinghies. For example, you can try the activity ‘Community at sea’, where you sail in the wake of the Vikings or experience the land of the Skjoldungs from the sea.
In addition, multiple guide and scout groups will arrive at the jamboree by boat at Veddelev harbor.
