Kander 100 is a once-in-a-lifetime Jamboree for young people from around the world and is the highlight of the KISC Centenary celebrations. The Jamboree will take place over 12 days, from 27th July to 8th August 2023 in Kandersteg International Scout Centre, Switzerland. As a volunteer during Kander 100, you must be available from the 22 July - 9 August 2023.

Be part of the Jamboree that will bring together Scouts and Guides from many countries and regions in the heart of the Swiss Alps!

We will inspire, challenge, and educate young people through high adventure, international friendship, and sustainable development, with an inclusive educational programme. IST members will work as part of the Staff team, and you will have the opportunity to express their top three volunteer job preferences. IST members are expected to have fun while volunteering and fulfilling a vital role in motivating and supporting services, programme and operations during Kander 100.

If you want to have an unforgettable summer, apply to be part of the biggest team KISC has ever had!
