16th to 29th July 2027
British Scouting Overseas, Southern Europe District (BSO) is excited to announce our participation in the International Jamborette at Camp La-No-Che, Paisley, Florida in July 2027.
The Jamborette brings scouts from different countries together for new experiences and lasting friendships. Our Southern Europe contingent will join scouts from across the world for an unforgettable two weeks in Florida.
Location
The Jamborette is held at Camp La-No-Che in Paisley, Florida – a dedicated scout camp around one hour from Orlando.
Paisley sits between the famous Orlando theme parks and the Florida coast, making it the ideal base for a packed programme of adventures both on-site and off.
Who Can Attend?
The Southern Europe contingent is open to Scouts, Explorers and Network (aged up to 24), with space for up to 36 young people and 8 adult leaders. Activities are tailored by age group: 11–12 year olds and 13–17 year olds each have their own off-site programme, with adults attending alongside their scouts.
Activities
Younger scouts (11–12) visit the Orlando Science Center, Central Florida Zoo, a beach and marine centre, and DeLeon Springs for swimming and breakfast.
Older scouts and explorers (13–17) go river tubing on the Itchneutucknee, kayaking and glass-bottom boat rides at Silver Springs, a beach day at Daytona, and swimming at DeLeon Springs.
Evenings at camp bring shooting sports, zip line, climbing wall, pool time, ga-ga ball, a dance party, and opening and closing campfires.
Theme Parks
The final three days of camp (26–28 July) are at the Universal Orlando Resort.
We spend two days at Universal Studios – including the Wizarding World of Harry Potter – and one day at Volcano Bay water park.
