Jamboree Song
Nu summer alting af liv
Nu summer alting af liv,
der’ en verden på vej –
bygget af dig og mig.
En by af telte og bål,
et eventyr i det fri.
Det er spejdermagi.
For her kan vi se,
at alting kan ske,
når bare vi tror på dét.
Vi vandrer sammen afsted,
drager ud i det blå.
Kom, hvad venter vi på?
Vi sætter alting i spil,
sigter højt, tager fat,
og kursen er sat.
Mod fremtiden hvor
den verden vi får,
er bedre end den i går.
I fællesskabet
vi lever, vi er.
Modet finder vi her.
Når vi står sammen
med nysgerrighed,
bli’r drømme til virk’lighed.
Lad håbet spire i dig,
lad det vokse – vi tror –
dét vi vander, det gror.
Og hvis du føler dig tabt,
faret vild på din vej,
så griber vi dig.
Med hænder der vil,
for du hører til.
Ingen skal stå helt selv.
Musik & Tekst: Frederik Brinth Christiansen og Marie Louise Hahne
I fællesskabet
vi lever, vi er.
Modet finder vi her.
Når vi står sammen
med nysgerrighed,
bli’r drømme til virk’lighed.
Take a good look around,
here are old friends and new.
The world is right next to you.
So let’s connect and include,
all around the globe.
Together in hope.
Put your scarfs in the air,
for all that we share.
It matters that YOU are here.
I fællesskabet
vi lever, vi er.
Modet finder vi her.
Når vi står sammen
med nysgerrighed,
bli’r drømme til virk’lighed.
Mens solen stille går ned,
stiger gnister til vejrs.
Bålet samler på tværs.
En varme spredes i os,
et fælles “nu” bliver til.
Vi mærker, vi vil –
vil skabe et sted,
hvor alle er med,
med plads til forskellighed.
I fællesskabet
vi lever, vi er.
Modet finder vi her.
Når vi står sammen
med nysgerrighed,
bli’r drømme til virk’lighed.
The song is about everything that happens within the community and what a community can offer each of us. It’s about standing together, being curious about one another and the world we live in, and supporting each other when times are tough. By doing this, we create a space for both you and me, a place where we can grow, and a place where dreams can become reality.
Additionally, the lyrics focus on everything we create together when we meet at Hedeland this summer – a city of tents and campfires, a place where anything can happen, a scouting and guiding community where we meet new and old friends and that unique atmosphere around the campfire. Frederik and Marie encapsulate all of this in the word “scout magic”!
The melody is inspired by both guiding and scouting songs and the Danish folk songbook. The aim was to create a song that everyone can join in and hum.
During the songwriting process, Marie and Frederik gathered input from various sources – from the jamboree’s guiding and scouting ambassadors, the jamboree’s political strategy, and volunteers from different areas and committees at Jamboree Denmark 2026.
A little about the songwriters:
Frederik Brinth and Marie Louise Hahne are both connected to the guide and scout movements. Marie is still an active guide while Frederik has passed the scouting legacy to his children. Additionally, they are both musicians and share a passion for communal singing.
Jamboree hymn
Aldrig Alene
Under samme stjerneklare nat
Følger vi en sti vi sammen har sat
En rygsæk fyldt med drømme og håb
Verden er større når vi tør gå
Et smil er et sprog, det forstår vi alle
Hånd i hånd, kan vi aldrig falde
Vi er aldrig alene, Aldrig for små
Venner vi endnu ikke har nået at få
I nord og syd, fra øst til vest
Vi finder hinanden, for sammen er vi bedst
Fra bjergets top til dalens bund
Finder vi glæde sekund for sekund
Et opfyldt løfte, et fælles bånd
Venskab er vores stærkeste hånd
Vi er aldrig alene …
Og når dagen er mørk og vejen lang
Synger vi sammen, én fælles sang
Ingen grænser, ingen uden venner
Venskabets flamme, den er vores følgesvend
Vi er aldrig alene … x2
Tekst og melodi: Kim Kaas-Claesson Baasch
Kim Kaas-Claesson Baasch has composed this year’s jamboree hymn, entitled “Aldrig alene” (Never Alone).
The hymn draws on the message of the story of Zacchaeus rather than the religious elements of the tale. There is a space for listeners to add their own words and meanings between the lines, in a way that suits their own perspective. In this way, the hymn is both interdenominational and inclusive.
The hymn speaks of the Guiding and Scouting spirit, community, being seen – and how we are all stronger when there is a square for all of us.
The hymn comes in two versions: a lowbeat and an upbeat version, making it suitable for both calm and energetic moments.
The story of Zacchaeus is about a man who was excluded from the community until he was seen with fresh eyes, given a chance, and became part of the community once more. It is a story about being recognised as a person first, about the courage to step forward and about what it means when a community opens up and makes room. This is precisely what we aim to celebrate and strengthen at the jamboree.
