The two candidate countries for the 2023 World Jamboree were Poland[1] and South Korea.[2] 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.[3]

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.[4]

Candidacy

Both the ZHP (Polish Scouting and Guiding Association) and the Korea Scout Association launched bids to host the 25th World Scout Jamboree.

The ZHP's proposed theme was "Be the Spark".[5] They received support from the city of Gdańsk to host the jamboree there and Mayor Paweł Adamowicz wrote an article for the Huffington Post about why Gdańsk was the ideal host city.[6][7]

The Korea Scout Association was seeking to host the jamboree to celebrate their centenary, which takes place in 2022.[8] The proposed location for the jamboree is Saemangeum. Their theme was "Draw Your Dream".[9]

European Scout Jamboree 2020

In response, Scouts from almost 30 European countries requested the Polish Scouting Association to consider organizing European Jamboree 2020, which would have taken place in Gdańsk, Poland, in 2020, but will now be postponed until 2021 due to the COVID-19 epidemic, and is in the planning process.[10]

gollark: I think this is a reasonable way to do copyright in general; some (much shorter than now!) length where you get exclusivity, which can be extended somewhat if you give the copyright office the source to release at the end of this perioid.
gollark: This isn't really "repair"y, inasmuch as you can't fix it if it breaks unless you happen to be really good at reverse engineering.
gollark: Maybe what you mean is banning DRM-ish things, so you can definitely copy the program and run it elsewhere and such?
gollark: Well, you can't actually run the program if you don't have... the program, DRM or no.
gollark: A lot of things now do the fourth.
