UN, Pramuka Promote SDGs at National Jamboree XII 2026

On August 19, 2026, the United Nations joined 20,857 scouts at National Jamboree XII in Cibubur to deliver interactive SDG learning modules.

The United Nations and Indonesia's Scouts joined forces for the National Jamboree XII 2026, held from August 13-20, to promote the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) among young participants. At the Global Development Village, Scouts engaged in interactive activities spanning five interconnected themes: People, Planet, Peace, Prosperity, and Partnership.

UN agencies such as FAO, ILO, IOM, UNFPA, UNHCR, UNICEF, UNODC, UNV, UN Women, UN Resident Coordinator's Office, and UNIC collaborated to introduce Scouts to sustainable development concepts through games, quizzes, and scenarios. The first five cycles of activities repeated the integrated five-pillar program for different groups of Scouts, with the final cycle featuring a film and safeguarding session.

Scouts explored themes like children's rights and consent, climate change awareness, safe behavior online and offline, skills and equal opportunity, and the collective role of young people, communities, and partners in achieving the SDGs. The program emphasized the interconnectedness of sustainable development and the crucial role of Indonesia's youth in achieving the 2030 Agenda.
