There are two exceptions to this series: no Jamboree was held between 1937 and 1947 because of the Second World War, and the 1979 Jamboree, which was to be held in Iran, was cancelled due to the political upheaval in the region at that time. The Jamboree has been held in different countries around the world. The first seven Jamborees were held in Europe. The eighth World Jamboree was held in North America where the tradition of moving the Jamboree among the continents began. As yet, the continent of Africa is the only one which has not hosted a World Scout Jamboree. | ||
To replace the cancelled event of 1979, the [[World Scout Committee]] determined that an alternative celebration, the [[15th World Scout Jamboree (cancelled)|Jamboree of the Year]] should take place. Several regional camps took place, along with countless Join-in-Jamboree activities - designed to allow Scouts from around the world to participate in an activity that thousands of other Scouts around the world were also participating in at the same time. This ''Join-in'' programme is being reproduced again as part of the [[Scouting 2007 Centenary]] celebrations. | To replace the cancelled event of 1979, the [[World Scout Committee]] determined that an alternative celebration, the [[15th World Scout Jamboree (cancelled)|Jamboree of the Year]] should take place.
