You are part of creating a unique jamboree experience for 30.000 kids and youth – thank you!

A set of guidelines has been established for Jamboree Denmark 2026. It applies to everyone involved, whether you are a participant, volunteer or visitor at the jamboree. The goal of this policy is to ensure a safe, inclusive, and respectful community where children, young people, and adults can flourish.
As adults and leaders within the community, we have a special duty to spearhead the creation of a positive and secure environment for everyone. We urge all adults and leaders to familiarise themselves with the policy before arriving at the jamboree. The full version of the policy includes a code of conduct, a digital policy, an alcohol policy, and a tobacco and nicotine policy. It can soon be found on the jamboree’s website:
https://spejderneslejr.dk/en/faq/documents/.

Listening Ears
At Jamboree Denmark, you will encounter the Listening Ears, who roam the jamboree both day and night. Their aim is to provide a safe atmosphere where both children and adults always have someone to approach if they feel uncertain.

What should I do if I experience or witness inappropriate behavior?
If you need to contact the HR managers directly before, during, or after the jamboree, please reach us at hr@sl2026.dk During the jamboree, it’s also possible to contact us by phone. The emergency phone line is open around the clock from the 18th to 26th July. The number will be published on the website before the jamboree begins.

At Jamboree Denmark 2026, you can obtain a complete jamboree badge, made up of three elements. 

The jamboree badge, given to all participating guides and scouts, is placed in the middle and features the jamboree’s logo. 

The activity badge is positioned above the jamboree badge. This badge symbolises the community spirit found when engaging in activities with fellow guides and scouts. It’s the umbrella under which all guides, scouts and the jamboree unite. After participating in several activities and collecting unique stickers, they can be traded for an activity badge at the jamboree’s information tents. 

The Friendship Award Badge is positioned below the jamboree badge. The Friendship Award Badge represents cultural exchanges and the core international guide and scout network that the guide and scout movement in Denmark is built upon. The badge journey begins and concludes at the International Hub on Lejrtorvet (the jamboree main square). Throughout the experience, guides and scouts engage in activities and complete tasks focusing on forming friendships and building community across cultures and nationalities. 

At Jamboree Denmark 2026, you can pay using debit/credit cards (Visa, Mastercard, Discover, American Express), Apple Pay, Google Pay, and Skejser (via the chip on the wristband). We encourage all adults who can, to use debit/credit cards, Apple Pay, or Google Pay for payments at the jamboree.

All participants are issued a wristband with a chip to be used for payments. This is known as Skejser. The Skejser solution is designed for the youngest
participants at the jamboree to safeguard them against losing cash or theft. The Skejser option will be available for registration and deposits from mid-May 2026 and throughout the jamboree. We suggest reviewing the upcoming guidelines and conditions before registering.

Who will be sent wristbands?
Mid-May 2026, wristbands, and other items will be dispatched to participants and volunteers registered before May 1st, 2026. Wristbands, etc., are sent to scout groups within the Danish Scouts (The Danish Scout Corps, YMCA Scouts, Green Girl Guides of Denmark, Danish Baptist Guide and Scout Association, and the Danish Scouts of Southern Schleswig) based within the Kingdom of Denmark and the EU (e.g., The Danish Scouts in Brussels).
Materials will be sent to the shipping address the group provided at registration. We encourage you to check your address information before May 1st, 2026.
All other international participants and all volunteers must collect wristbands and other items from the information tents upon arrival at the jamboree. More information on this will follow in Information package 4.

Gathering
Here the jamboree comes together across different points, finds peace, and feels a sense of belonging.
The aim of the Gathering is to create an open space for cooperation between guide and scout organizations, where everyone can take part, and we
can collectively discover what the Gathering means for each individual and our community.
Peace, reflection, faith, meeting others and the hymn are different expressions of the same idea: We make square for each other, meet openly, and take time to feel and share the thoughts that make us stronger guides and scouts and individuals.

The Gathering Area at Aktivitetstorv Øst becomes the heart of reflection and those moments where you can truly feel the scout spirit. Here we focus on what unites us through the community we all belong to, regardless of scarf colour, faith or background.

In the Gathering Area, you will find, among other things:

The Gathering Point, located in the centre of the area, is a large tent filled with calm, presence and square for both big and small conversations. It’s a free space inviting reflection and tranquillity, where the scout spirit can unfold in new ways. Guides and scouts can take a break here. There will also be inspiring presentations and small talks along the way.

The Mosque: Hosted by the Semerkand guides and scouts, the jamboree’s mosque welcomes everyone to visit, ask questions, participate in prayers or simply satisfy their curiosity. Daily prayers and the Friday prayer are held here.

The Church: The goal here is for guides and scouts to explore Christianity’s stories and values in various forms, sometimes quietly, other times through play, creativity, communal singing and cosy time together. Guides and scouts can look forward to a mixture of drop-in and pre-booked activities, including the church’s escape room filled with ancient prophecies, star maps and mysterious clues. There will also be pop-up activities, a beatbox religious service, Taizé, morning devotions, evening communion and much more. There are activities and experiences suitable for all ages.

The main camp religious service will be held on Sunday July 19th at 1∶00 p.m.

The Hour of Reflection
The Hour of Reflection is scheduled for Wednesday evening at 7 pm. Here, the entire jamboree steps back from the hustle and bustle, providing space to
reflect, converse, and cultivate spirituality.
The Hour of Reflection offers a calm evening activity period, akin to a cultural night in first gear at the jamboree. During The Hour of Reflection, you can
engage in various events focused on slowing down and finding peace, allowing thoughtfulness and reflection to emerge. It’s a small sanctuary within the
jamboree, where the first days’ impressions can settle, making space for new experiences during the rest of the jamboree.

Some activities available during other activity periods will be adapted for The Hour of Reflection, taking place at a slower pace with emphasis on
reflection. Exclusive activities will also be planned for The Hour of Reflection, not available at other times.
A more detailed programme for The Hour of Reflection will be released closer to the jamboree. Activities are primarily designed for ages 8-17, but
also cater to adults and children under 8. Children under 8 are recommended to be accompanied by an adult.

Time for Reflection. During The Hour of Reflection, participants can ponder their values, habits, and way of life. Activities are aligned to inspire contemplation, leaving you with food for thought.

Room to Connect. Jamboree Denmark 2026 brings together many cultures and traditions, making it an ideal venue for reflecting on your own perspectives. A primary focus of The Hour of Reflection is therefore to provide a square where differences can meet, so that one may gain deeper insight into oneself and one another. In some activities, it’s the dialogue that takes centre stage.

An opportunity to nurture spirituality. Whether you carry your faith with you, have left it at home, or have none at all, The Hour of Reflection offers a
square for spirituality to be discussed, explored, and potentially developed. At the very least, it’s fascinating to learn about others’ perspectives on
spirituality.

Wet Pits 

Jamboree Denmark 2026 will be held in two main sections: Hedeland Nature Park and farmland east of Reerslev. 

Hedeland Nature Park is a section that was previously used for gravel extraction. This means that the water now seeping down is not as well filtered before reaching the groundwater. 

The area east of Reerslev has revealed many archaeological finds from the Middle Ages. Hence, the local museum is keen to minimise any excavation in this section to preserve archaeological remains from ancient houses and settlements. 

It is therefore forbidden to dig wet pits. Instead, holding tanks will be used at all toilet areas in the subcamps. We recommend groups acquire transport barrels with lids for wastewater. 

Electricity at the Campsites 

Electricity can only be ordered at the campsites for medical equipment. This ordering takes place through group registration. Electrical connections will be run as far as the municipal boundary. The location is arranged directly between the subcamp technology team and the municipal coordinator. Users are responsible for installing approved cables in their own sections. 

Gas at the Campsites 

Gas can be used and stored at the campsites. Each appliance may have one gas cylinder of up to 11 kg, plus an additional spare of the same size. 

Gas is available at the jamboree’s hardware store on Spejdertorvet. 

Rules for putting up firefighting equipment on the group’s campsite 

• A fire bucket of at least 10 litres must be placed at each sleeping tent. The bucket must be filled with water. If several tents are set up in a cluster (up to eight tents), the number of fire buckets can be reduced. However, there must be at least three fire buckets per tent cluster. 

• A fire bucket of at least 10 litres must be placed at each campfire site. The bucket must be full of water. 

• A manual water pump or pressurised water extinguisher (minimum nine kg) must be present at the campsite. If a manual pump is used, the water tank must be full. If replaced with a large garden sprayer, this must be clearly marked as “Fire Equipment” and supplemented with a filled water can or fire bucket, ensuring at least 10 litres of water are available. 

• In addition, there must be at least one fire beater  (remember to teach guides and scouts to use these correctly). 

• Firefighting equipment must be placed somewhere visible and easily accessible. 

• Powder extinguishers are not allowed on the jamboree. 

Rules for Setting Up Tents, Campfire Sites, etc. The group’s campsite rules will be in Information package 4, which also includes the allocation of campsite areas. 

Shared Transport
All participants and volunteers at the jamboree are offered shared transport. We recommend that as many as possible make use of this offer. This
optimises the buses’ capacity, helping to reduce environmental impact. Additionally, it eases traffic pressure on major arrival and departure days,
simplifying logistics. The shared transport, mainly by bus, is included in the participation fee for those aged 6 and up.

Entry Points for International Participants International participants can use shared transport as soon as they arrive on Danish soil. In the
registration system, you can choose the entry point you wish to use. You are free to choose from the entry points available in the registration system.
The entry point must be chosen by 1st of May 2026, after which it cannot be changed. Itineraries will be available by the 1st of June 2026.

We currently have the following collection points available for foreign groups upon arrival in Denmark:
Hirtshals, Frederikshavn, Billund, Flensborg (DE), Padborg, Rødby, Gedser, Kastrup, Helsingør, Oslo Ferry (Copenhagen), Øresund Bridge, Hamburg (DE)
and Køge.

Some groups will be travelling by train to the jamboree As there is extensive track work planned on Funen and West Zealand on the arrival day the 18th of July, danish bus companies will need to allocate many buses for rail replacement buses. This means we cannot secure the number of buses needed for
Jamboree Denmark 2026. On the 18th of July, groups and volunteers in and around Greater Copenhagen must use the S-train or regional train to either Køge Nord, Ballerup or Høje Tåstrup station. From there, a bus will take you to the jamboree. The bus departure time will be announced by the 1st of June. Affected groups and volunteers must purchase their train tickets, but they will receive a refund in the settlement for Jamboree Denmark 2026. On return days, transport will be provided by bus for all groups.

Transportation reimbursement If, as a group, individual participant or international service team volunteer, you do not wish to use the
jamboree’s shared transport, a reimbursement will be given, based on the distance from your entry point to the jamboree.

Contact Us
For any questions about shared transport, you can always email the committee at transport@sl2026.dk and we’ll respond as soon as possible.

Transport of the Group’s Camping Gear
The groups are responsible for transporting their own camping gear to and from the jamboree. Shared transport only includes personal camping gear.
Space is allocated in parking area P3 for parking trailers, containers, and other transport equipment during the jamboree. Groups must arrange their own
transport of these to and from the campsite. Camping gear sent to the jamboree by truck/container/pallet cages will be located in an area close to the subcamp square. Remember to specify your storage needs for trailers, containers, etc., in your group’s registration.

Access to the Campsite
Arrival is allowed no earlier than Wednesday, July 15th. Vehicles must have left the campsite by Friday, July 17th at 10∶00 p.m.
Only toilets at the subcamp squares will be open. The canteen and cafe in subcamp Skoven (the forrest) are open, offering food and drinks.
From Wednesday, ordered poles can also be delivered by agreement with the subcamps.

On departure day, Sunday July 26th, vehicles can enter the campsite after 4∶00 p.m. or when emergency services permit.

Lashings on raft structures must be executed according to good Scout practice. For structures at risk of toppling over in gale-force winds (13.9 m/s and
above), the load-bearing rafters must be buried or attached to strong stakes anchored in the ground.
In strong winds, any covers for dining tables and similar setups must be secured or taken down.

Approval by the Authorities
As mentioned in Information package 2, larger raft constructions must be approved by the authorities through the jamboree’s emergency services.

The deadline for submitting the application has been extended to March 31th 2026.

The application is prepared by completing a concept description, including a risk assessment. Drawings and any calculations must be attached. You can soon find guidance for this on this website.

Concept Description
In a concept description, you, as organisers, can outline your structure and explain what you intend to create. If you plan to construct a structure, you must also attach drawings of its design.

Risk Assessment
In a risk assessment, you evaluate what risks your structure poses to participants. For example, assess the risk of collapse and detail measures to minimise these risks, such as regular inspections.

Please note that larger structures, especially those involving overnight stays at height, might require engineering calculations, with the costs to be covered by your group.

Tents and One-pole Marquees
Tents, such as one-pole marquees larger than 100 m2 or with sides covering more than half the circumference, must also be registered with the
jamboree’s emergency services by March 31th at beredskab@sl2026.dk.

Contact
For specific questions about the approval process for building works and other spar constructions, you can write to the emergency services at
beredskab@sl2026.dk.
