World Scout Jamboree

Welcome Scouts!

If you're looking at this special landing page, you'll hopefully want to Do 1 Thing to help refugees forced to flee because of war or persecution. You will be able to go back home when the Jamboree ends; they can't.

Here are some ways you can get involved and help refugees worldwide:

Visit www.unhcr.org/do1thing and Do 1 Thing to help refugees!

Play an online game
Listen to a refugee story
Download a screensaver
Send an e-card and help spread the word
Share Goodwill Ambassador Angelina Jolie's video
Test your knowledge of refugees

Remember the blindfolds, falling over in the mud? Relive the fun by trying out Passages with the rest of your patrol or take it to school and enjoy it with your classmates.

Prefer taking it easy in front of your computer? Play Against All Odds in English, Swedish, Finnish, German, Greek or Norwegian.

Want to learn how to select the correct location to build a camp to shelter displaced people? Download a copy of the special Scout edition of the UNHCR Handbook for Emergencies.

Thought it was just a game? Take the Simple Acts quiz and discover how much you learnt.

Keep up-to-date with UNHCR news.

A picture tells a thousand words, so check out some of UNHCR's videos and Photos from refugee emergencies worldwide.

Organize a fund-raising event or ask friends and family to become regular donors. Your donation can buy new shelters, provide vital health care or help young refugees attend school. You can donate online today.
