Abstract is: The 25th World Scout Jamboree will be held August 1–12, 2023 at Saemangeum, North Jeolla, South Korea, hosted by Korea Scout Association with the theme, "Draw Your Dream". About 30,000 to 50,000 participants are expected to attend. The theme, "Draw your Dream!" expresses the desire of Scout Movement members to transform the 25th World Scout Jamboree into their own festival and grow dreams through the event. Saemangeum, an estuarine tidal flat on the coast of the Yellow Sea in South Korea, is being shaped into a spacious jamboree area, giving young Scouts from around the world an opportunity to purse their hopes and dreams throughout the Jamboree. The campsite is flat, overlooks the sea on one side and features a view of the mountains. It is situated closely to Byeonsanbando National Park (Byeonsan Peninsula) located on the West Coast of Jeollabuk-do. The site is about 8.8 km2 and spreads out on a wide piece of land measuring 6.2 km X 1.7 km (based on the longest points). This is the second time a World Scout Jamboree is held in Korea. In 1991, the 17th World Scout Jamboree was successfully held in 1991 in Goseong, Gangwon-do with 19,093 participants from 135 countries under the theme of "Many Lands, One World". Other host nations having hosted a World Scout Jamboree more than once are United Kingdom (four times; 1920, 1929, 1957 and 2007), United States (twice; 1967 and 2019 (co-hosted with Canada and Mexico)), Japan (twice; 1971 and 2015), Canada (three times; 1955, 1983 and 2019 (co-hosted with Mexico and United States)), Netherlands (twice; 1937 and 1995). World Scout Jamborees are attended by Youth Participants (14-18 years old at the time of the jamboree) and adult volunteers, serving in the capacity as Adult Leaders (AL), Contingent Management Team (CMT) members and International Service Team (IST) members. The smallest units are patrols. One patrol consists of nine Youth Participants (YP) and one Adult Leader (AL). Four patrols, or 36 YPs and 4 ALs, make up a Unit. The two candidate countries for the 2023 World Jamboree were Poland and South Korea. The World Organization of the Scout Movement was to have selected the host country in 2014 at the 40th World Scout Conference in Ljubljana, Slovenia, however this was postponed past the 23rd World Scout Jamboree, where both contingents still made bids. On 16 August 2017, during the 41st World Scout Conference in Baku, Azerbaijan, the World Organization of the Scout Movement announced that the 25th World Scout Jamboree would be held in South Korea.
