• Hampshire International Jamboree (HIJ) Initial Registration (Participants/Groups)

    HIJ is taking place from Saturday 22nd to Saturday 29th July 2028

  • Visit hij.org.uk

  • HIJ will take place near Overton in Hampshire, UK and is open to young people from Scouting and Guiding aged 10 and over.

    This form is to book places and can either be used by Group leaders to book spaces for their Group, or for parents to sign up an Explorer or Ranger. 

    Registration Fees

    We are currently providing an Early Bird discount price of £300 per young person and £50 per adult leader as part of that Group when places are booked by Sunday 28th February 2027. The participant registration fee includes access to the full HIJ experience, including camping, the event programme, ceremonies, entertainment and the facilities and services required to deliver the event safely. Travel to and from the event, food (optional catering package available), personal spending money and optional merchandise are not included. Full details will be available in the HIJ FAQs on our website.

    Note that prices will increase as follows:

    • from Monday 1st March 2027 the price will increase to £350 per young person
    • from 1st May 2028 the price will increase to £390 per young person

    HIJ Flex Guarantee

    Booking for an event nearly two years in advance can be daunting, especially when participant numbers are likely to change.

    That's why every group booking for HIJ 2028 benefits from our HIJ Flex Guarantee.

    Until 1st September 2027, groups can increase or decrease their original youth booking by up to 20% with confidence:

    • Increase your numbers by up to 20% and those additional participants will retain your original registration price.
    • Decrease your numbers by up to 20% and you won't lose any payments already made against those places.

    If your numbers increase by more than 20%, any additional participants beyond the Flex Guarantee will simply be charged at the registration price available at the time they are added.

    Example: A group books 30 places at the Launch Price. Before 1 September 2027 they can increase to 36 places, with all 36 participants paying the Launch Price, or reduce to 24 places without forfeiting any payments already made.

  • For attending Groups, we recognise that some adult volunteers have their own children they wish to bring along who aren't part of the Scout/Guide/Explorer/Ranger sections. We are able to offer spaces for adult volunteers younger children and these will be charged at £50 per person for the full week. Please note that they won't be able to participate in the main activity programme.

    Important Note: If your young person is attending as part of a Group that is coming to HIJ, you do not need to complete this form, their Group will submit a Group Booking on their behalf.

  • Arrival at HIJ

    How do you plan to arrive at the event

  • We are keen to ensure that everyone arrives at HIJ safely. To allow us to make transport plans, we're looking to understand how you plan to arrive at the event. It could be that you're arriving by car, minibus or coach directly to the event or you could be arriving by rail or air.

    For those arriving by rail, we are anticipating many groups arriving at either Winchester or Micheldever stations. Please let us know which station you are expecting to arrive at. 

    For any of our International participants arriving by air, the local airports are with Southampton or London Heathrow. Let us know where you intend to arrive at so we can plan our arrivals. 

    If you're arriving by any other method, or using a combination, please choose 'Other' and provide the additional details.

    • Breakfast, lunch and dinner ingredients provided for each day of the event.
    • Daily collection of food by unit leaders.
    • Units preparing meals on their own campsite.
    • Menus designed specifically for camp catering.
    • Provision for the 14 major food allergens.
