BSO Southern Europe Eclipse Camp Jamborette

British Scouting Overseas, Southern Europe District, (BSO) is excited to announce a Jamborette to be held in the Spanish region of Soria in August 2026.

This will be held at a private, purpose-built campsite for young people owned by the Village of Covaleda in Soria central Spain (north of Madrid). 

The highlight of the camp will be the once in a lifetime chance to witness firsthand a total eclipse of the sun.  This has not occurred in Europe since 1999 and in Spain for over a century.  The camp will last for eight days / seven nights and be available for Network, Explorers, Scouts and older Cubs from all groups in BSO and other groups worldwide.

Attendance is expected to be between 500 and 1000 people.

Leaders from all groups sending young people will be attending unless otherwise agreed.  Activities during the camp will be safe and exciting and aim to include mountain and water-based experiences in the mornings, and space and eclipse preparation along with traditional scouting activities such as games and community service around the camp in the afternoons and evenings.

Apart from having fun, the focus of the camp will be on camaraderie and meeting with other young people from BSO and other scout groups who will be attending.
