International camps in the UK

Scouting in the United Kingdom has a long tradition of locally organised international camps. These range from about 1,000 to 10,000 participants and the organisers can be Districts, Counties/Areas or countries of the UK.

This information is designed to support the organisers in addressing some of the important issues which can arise. The guidance and examples of good practice are drawn from feedback provided by organisers of past events.

This guidance is based on feedback from meetings with organisers of these events and the national International Scout Support Unit.
