A '''national Scout jamboree''' is a gathering, or [[jamboree (Scouting)|jamboree]] of thousands of members of the [[Boy Scouts of America]] (BSA), usually held every four years and organized by the BSA National Council. Referred to as "Jambo", or "the Jamboree", Scouts from all over the world have the opportunity to attend these jamborees, considered to be one of several unique experiences that the BSA offers. The first jamboree was scheduled to be held in 1935 in [[Washington D.C.]] to celebrate the 25th anniversary of Scouting, but was delayed until 1937. The idea of holding the event on a regular basis did not take root at first, the next jamboree wasn't held until 1950 in [[Valley Forge National Historical Park|Valley Forge]], [[Pennsylvania]]<ref>http://www.nps.gov/archive/vafo/treese/treese8.htm</ref>. | A '''national Scout jamboree''' is a gathering, or [[jamboree (Scouting)|jamboree]] of thousands of members of the [[Boy Scouts of America]] (BSA), usually held every four years and organized by the BSA National Council.
