The European Scout Jamboree ( Eurojam for short ) is an international scout camp that is organized at irregular intervals by the European region of the World Organization of the Scout Movement (WOSM).

So far, two European Scout Jamborees have been held, both as a dress rehearsal for the World Scout Jamboree, which will take place one or two years later on the same site, with around 10,000 participants each:

A more regular implementation of this major WOSM event is planned, but details are not yet known.

Other international scout associations also run European camps under the name Eurojam, but they usually have significantly fewer participants. These organizers include the Confédération Européenne de Scoutisme and the Union Internationale des Guides et Scouts d'Europe .

The European Jamboree 2020 is to take place on the island of Sobieszewo , in the Gdansk Bay near Gdansk , with around 22,000 participants from 65 nations. Because of the Covid-19 pandemic, the Polish organizers decided to postpone the European Jamboree to summer 2021.

After the delegates of the World Scout Conference in Baku 2017 had decided that the 25th World Scout Jamboree should take place in Korea in 2023 , scouts from almost 30 European countries then asked the Polish scout association, which had lost the election, to organize a European Scout Jamboree in To consider. The Polish Scout Association had already planned to hold a European Jamboree in 2021 in preparation for hosting the World Jamboree in 2023.

From Germany the rings are German Scout and Scout associations provide a common quota. The Scout Movement Switzerland and the Scouts and Guides of Austria will also participate with quotas at European Jamboree.
