Help Dylan Barnes attend the World Scout Jamboree in Poland July 2027

Hi, my name is Dylan, and I’m a 13 year-old Scout with a huge opportunity ahead of me — I’ve been selected to attend the World Scout Jamboree, a once-in-a-lifetime international event that brings together tens of thousands of Scouts from all over the globe!

This incredible event celebrates adventure, friendship, and global unity — but it’s also about much more than that. The cost of attending (around £3,500) doesn’t just cover my trip; the majority of the funds raised go towards helping Scouts from less well-off countries take part too. By supporting me, you’re not just helping me reach my dream — you’re helping make the Jamboree accessible for young people all over the world who otherwise wouldn’t be able to go.

Scouting has taught me so much — teamwork, leadership, outdoor skills, and the importance of helping others. I’ve camped, earned badges through hard work, and learned how to stay positive even when things get tough. The Jamboree will be the ultimate chance to put those skills into action — meeting Scouts from different cultures, learning new things, and bringing those experiences back home to inspire others in my local group.

I’m working hard to raise the money through events, challenges, and community activities, but I need your help to reach my goal of £3,500. Every donation, no matter how small, brings me one step closer to representing my local Scout group — and helping other Scouts around the world share in this amazing adventure too.

If you can, please consider donating or sharing my page to help spread the word. Your support really means the world to me — and to the global Scouting family.

Thank you so much!

Dylan

We are so proud that he got through the selection camp, despite the challenges that his Autism and Ehlers Danlos syndrome throws at him. Well deserved Dylan!
