Telstar International Scouts are preparing for an exciting adventure as they get ready to represent Luxembourg at the World Scout Jamboree in Poland in 2027; to help make this once-in-a-lifetime experience possible, the group is inviting the local community to join them for a fun-filled fundraising event.

"Our young people are proud to be representing Luxembourg at the World Scout Jamboree. This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for them, and we are excited to be sending 21 participants next year as part of the Scouting in Luxembourg group," said Lynn Frank who will also be attending as an adult leader. 

Scouting is a mixed-gender, youth-led movement that gives young people the opportunity to develop transferable life skills, build confidence, discover new interests and make lasting friendships, all whilst having fun. The 2027 World Scout Jamboree in Poland will bring together nearly 50,000 Scouts from more than 170 countries, creating a unique opportunity to connect across cultures, share ideas and work towards making the world a better place for future generations.

On Saturday 21 November 2026, the Telstar participants are organising a second-hand sale of English books, games and outdoor equipment, followed by a fun family Bingo afternoon. Visitors can also enjoy homemade cakes and refreshments which will be available throughout the event.

The event is being held at FNEL Headquarters (61a rue de Trèves, L-2630 Luxembourg-Cents) between 11:00 - 15:00, with Family Bingo at 16:00.

For the Family Bingo, tickets cost €10 for adults and €5 for children

The organisers are promising something for everyone, so bring the family, browse for a bargain and enjoy an afternoon of community fun while supporting a fantastic opportunity for local young people.

Donations of second-hand books, games and outdoor equipment for the sale are very welcome: to donate items or book a Bingo table, please contact Lynn Frank at email: nicklynn82@yahoo.com.

The group has more fundraising activities planned, including its ever-popular Quiz Night on Friday 15 January 2027.
