Jamboree Denmark 2022 was the third Jamboree Denmark, and the first time it was held in Zealand.
The theme for Jamboree Denmark 2022 was “Our common future”. A theme, that created the framework for the work before, during and after the jamboree. The theme was chosen because we, as guides and scouts, take responsibility for our globe, the people on it and our common future. It is also a collaboration between both guides and scouts of all ages, associations, and countries.
Our common future was the common thread in more than 300 activities at Jamboree Denmark 2022, and as guides and scouts it was possible to collect an Our common future badge if five types of activities were completed.
The landmark ’Læringsspiralen’ (spiral of learning) of Jamboree Denmark 2022 was created to raise awarerness on the Global Sustainable Development Goals and our global community.
