A global
Student Scouting event

In the summer of 2026, hundreds of Student Scouts are gathering in the Netherlands for the first edition of

the World Student Scout Shivaree.

Our goals for the Shivaree

The Shivaree team has set a number of goals to ensure the best possible experience for every single participant.

Meeting & Sharing

Meeting new Scouts and sharing the experience is central to the Shivaree philosophy.

Adventure & Outdoor

The Shivaree is going to offer a broad range of adventurous outdoor activities.

Culture & Identity

During the Shivaree participants are going to experience Dutch culture and share their own culture with other participants.

Learning & Teaching

Education is at the heart of both Scouting and student life. Therefore, it is going to play a role during the Shivaree.

Sustainable & Green

In keeping with Scouting culture, the SDG’s are going to have their rightfull place at the Shivaree.

Experience & Enjoy

In the end, the Shivaree is going to be a uniquely enjoyable experience for every participant.
