Welcome

Chamboree is a week long International camp, held on the Royal Cheshire Showground every four years. The next Chamboree will take place from the 30th July to the 6th August 2022.

Everyday adventure is at the very heart of Scouting: spending time away from home, the participation in outdoor indoor activities, teaching young people skills for life, building confidence and gaining independence as well as making new friends from all sorts of backgrounds. It is the aim of 'Chamboree Team' to celebrate everything that is great about Scouting & Guiding in one long week of camping!
