Driven by a passion for community service, youth empowerment, and cultural exchange, I volunteered early for the National Scout Jamboree to help bring together more than 700 participants from across Bhutan and abroad. I wanted to contribute to creating a meaningful experience where young people could build friendships, share cultures, develop leadership skills, and unite as one Scout family while supporting our national educational vision.

Volunteering several days before the event taught me that thorough preparation and teamwork are essential for successful event management. Coordinating activities for more than 700 participants from across Bhutan and abroad strengthened my leadership, communication, and problem-solving skills. Working alongside Scout leaders also helped me understand the importance of collaboration and strategic planning. Most importantly, witnessing young people from all 20 dzongkhags come together as one family showed me how Scouting values can unite people beyond cultural and geographical differences. In the future, I would focus on improving coordination, volunteer management, and activity planning to make similar events even more successful.

The National Scout Jamboree was held in Paro, with volunteers arriving on 21 May to assist with preparations ahead of its commencement on 25 May 2026. More than 700 Scouts from across Bhutan, together with international participants from Bangladesh, India, and Sri Lanka, gathered for this five-day event. The programme featured outdoor adventures, leadership activities, cultural exchanges, and community service initiatives. As a volunteer, I contributed to the preparations and overall execution of the event, helping create a memorable experience that encouraged young people to develop new skills, build confidence, and form lasting friendships across borders and cultures.
