Norjam sets a maximum 1:4 adult to young person ratio and a minimum of three adults per contingent to comply with Scout and Guide best practice.

Additional adults can join the staff team.

We can offer flexibility in ratio numbers to support Scouts and Guides with additional support needs.

Yes, the number of participants can be increased at a later date, until the Jamboree is full.

If you are a member of an International Scout or Guide association, you are very welcome to come to Norjam as a contingent group.

We have a dedicated team to help you plan your Jamboree – find out more here!

As part of the registration process, UK groups can request to host an international contingent.

All Unit Leaders MUST have either a NAN form (Scouting) or REN form (Girlguiding) approved by their local area, which will establish whether the leadership team has the required experience.  If you are unsure, please discuss with your local night’s away or camping advisor.

Children under 10 years of age cannot take part in the Jamboree participant activities, but there is the chance for those aged 2 to 9 years of age to take part in the “Side Show Fiesta” activities for an additional fee of £35.00 per child.

Please refer to the Dependent Children Policy for more information.

These will be uploaded to the Contingents page which you can find here.

Yes, there will be a staff catering option for full-time staff members at Norjam 2025.

We are super excited that our catering will be provided by  His Majesty’s Royal Air Force based at RAF Marham, supported again by the Chelmsford & District Active Support Unit.   

Staff catering will run from the first meal on the evening of Saturday 9th August to the last breakfast on the morning of Saturday 16th August and include a hot or cold breakfast, a packed lunch and a hot or cold evening meal.

The fee is £95.00, in addition to the staff camping fee. That’s £4.75 a meal.

As we have kept our staff fees at a fair price, this still makes Norjam one of the most affordable Jamborees for 2025.

Please carefully read our Staff Catering Policy for full details.

If you booked as Norjam staff before the 9th August 2024, you will have received an email with details on how to confirm your place.

For staff booking after this date, please select ‘yes’ on the question on staff catering to be given the payment details, providing spaces are still available.

If you choose not to book onto staff catering, or if spaces are full, you can still buy food from our on-site vendors or self-cater.

There is also a large supermarket next to the Norfolk Showground.

Although we are not expecting any issues, because RAF Marham is an operational base we wanted to be open and honest with you.

We will make every effort to ensure staff catering is delivered by working with the RAF.

Should there be any challenges in this, the management team will work together to offer the best solution and we will contact those booked on central catering in the event of any changes.

Staff roles are only open to those aged over 18 at the start of the jamboree who are members of the Scout Association or Girlguiding.

Children under 10 years of age cannot take part in the Jamboree participant activities, but there is the chance for those aged 2 to 9 years of age to take part in the “Side Show Fiesta” activities for an additional fee of £35.00 per child.

Children of staff aged 10 to 17 years of age can buy into the participant activity package for an additional fee of £240.00 per child (total fee of £275.00).

Please refer to the Dependent Children Policy for more information.
