The 33rd Asia-Pacific Regional Scout Jamboree (APRSJ) themed “Be Prepared: Scouts for Peace and Sustainable Development”, a premier gathering of Scouts, Scout Leaders, and stakeholders, is currently held from December 14 to 21, 2025, at Camp Kainomayan in Botolan, Zambales.

Organized by the Boy Scouts of the Philippines (BSP), in partnership with the Inter-Agency Task Force (IATF) including the Department of Tourism (DOT) and the Provincial Government of Zambales, APRSJ brings together over 23,000 scouts from around the world to promote leadership, service, and global citizenship.

Delegates were warmly welcomed by BSP’s and DOT’s Reception Committee at Ninoy Aquino International Airport (NAIA) and Clark International Airport (CRK). 1,205 Security Personnel were also deployed from the Philippine National Police (PNP), and Armed Forces of the Philippines (AFP) for the scouts’ smooth transit to the Jamboree site.

Part of the event landmark is the organization of the Global Development Village (GDV) where participants learn to engage with global issues through interactive exhibits, workshops, and advocacy-driven activities.

APRSJ is a momentous and indelible event for the young scouts, reflecting the scouts’ core and lifelong values to live up by the motto, “Once a Scout, always a Scout”.
