The pair, who were selected for the Scottish U16 Blues squad together 3 years ago, will now compete side-by-side in the three-week long tournament in Nariboi, Kenya.
Callum, who competed in the U20 Summer Series last year alongside fellow FP Andy Stirrat, said, “It’s a great opportunity. After playing in Italy last year and having a few experienced players will serve us well as a squad. I think we have an amazing opportunity to do something special as a group.”
Jonny, who joined Callum and fellow FP Harris McLeod in this year’s U20 Six Nations campaign, added, “Very excited, I can’t wait to get going and play in some tough conditions. Looking most forward to playing Samoa.”
Scotland U20 begin their campaign first with a match against Zimbabwe U20 on Saturday 15 July at 6am GMT. All matches will be available to watch here.
