Author: Richard Harvey

Published: September 2, 2020

Applications to join the UK Contingent for the 16th World Scout Moot have reopened for a limited time following the event dates changing (see below).


For anyone who didn't manage to submit an application first time round, can now attend due to the new dates in 2022 or have had a change in circumstance, UK Scouts are delighted to be able to provide an opportunity to submit an application as either a Participant or IST member.


The second round of applications will then be entered along with the first round into the ballot which will be drawn using our Scouting Criteria. Places will be confirmed no later than the end of October 2020.


Submitting an application is super easy! There's three simple steps to let us know you'd like to come to Ireland in July 2022. They are:

  1. Completing a contingent application form
  2. Filling out an anonymous equal opportunities monitoring form 
  3. Visiting the grants section of our website and considering completing an application for our Inclusion Fund.


All the information on submitting an application and more is available on our How to apply page. Applications close at midnight on Sunday 20th September, so don't leave it too late!


A reminder that if you've already applied - you don't need to do anything! Please don't submit a second application, but check your emails for the latest update around your next steps.

Vacancy - District Lead Volunteer Sleaford

By Howard Nelson • April 24, 2025
Adam Jacklin will be stepping down from his role as District Lead Volunteer for Sleaford District on 4 November 2025. As Adam prepares to step down as District Lead Volunteer for Sleaford this November, I would like to take the opportunity to offer my thanks for the energy, dedication, and leadership he has brought to the role. Adam has been a driving force behind many positive developments within the District, always bringing a thoughtful and steady approach to everything he does. Throughout his term, Adam has consistently put young people at the centre of our work. His collaborative style has helped build strong teams and foster a real sense of community among our volunteers. Whether supporting events, shaping strategy, or mentoring others, Adam has been generous with his time and tireless in his commitment to the values of Scouting. While Adam is stepping back from the DLV role, I know his involvement with the District and County will continue. I look forward to seeing the next chapter of his Scouting journey and extend our warmest thanks for the significant contribution he has made over the years.
