Great Britain held an Imperial Jamboree at [[Wembley]], [[Middlesex]] at the beginning of August 1924, in connection with the [[British Empire Exhibition]]. Over 1,000 Scouts from 25 parts of the Commonwealth and Empire accepted the invitation. 10,000 Scouts were present from the United Kingdom. The displays and ceremonies took place in [[Wembley Stadium (1923)|Wembley Stadium]]. The Scouts were camped nearby in [[Wembley Paddocks]] in very cramped quarters. The Prince of Wales witnessed the displays in the stadium, presided at a campfire and stayed the night at a tent in the Paddocks. On different days the chief guests in the stadium were the [[King George VI|Duke of York]] and [[Rudyard Kipling]], on the Wolf Cubs' Day, when he saw how parts of his ''Jungle Books'' were dramatized and used to bring atmosphere and interest into the Cub program. | |||

Denmark has a comparatively small Scout population and doubts were expressed beforehand as to whether it would be possible for the [[Danish Scouts]] to make a success of the undertaking. The main host was [[Christian Holm (Scouting)|Christian Holm]], President of [[Fællesrådet for Danmarks Drengespejdere|Det Danske Spejderkorps]], whose daughter became known as ''[[Kim, Friend of all the World]]''. The three Scouters responsible for the preparation, organization and administration were very young men, but they made a success of the Jamboree. [[Ove Holm]], later to become [[Chief Scout]] of Det Danske Spejderkorps, was the Organizing Secretary and Administrator, [[Jens Hvass]], later a state forester and Divisional Scout Commissioner in [[North Jutland]], was the Camp Chief, and [[Tage Carstensen]], later a lawyer in [[Jutland]], International Commissioner and founder of the Scout [[Blood Transfusion]] Service, was in charge of all international aspects. | ||
The Second World Jamboree was officially opened on August 10, 1924 by Rear-Admiral [[Carl Carstensen]], acting as the personal representative of [[King Christian X]]. Fourteen countries entered composite troops for the World Scout Championship, a test of [[Scoutcraft]] and stamina which continued throughout the week, and included [[camp inspection]]s, hygiene, discipline, [[Campfire Songs|campfire songs]] and yells, [[folk dancing]], swimming, handicraft, an obstacle course and patrol hike.

The [[Boy Scouts of America]] won the competition, Great Britain came second and Hungary third. It was decided, however, not to renewing the idea, for fears that nationalism could harm Scout brotherhood. | ||
[[Lord Baden-Powell]] arrived at the Jamboree after opening day, and was received by a welcoming parade of all the Scouts. Just as he was about to speak, rain came down in torrents and everyone was soaked. The name given him was ''Baden Mester'', [[Danish language|Danish]] for "Bath Superintendent." On the final Sunday the Scouts were inspected near the royal hunting lodge by King Christian in the pouring rain, and that afternoon Baden-Powell presented the competition prizes, saying "I have seen great numbers of Scouts in my life, but I have never seen any as wet as you are!" Because of the floods one part of the camp even had to evacuate temporarily. | [[Lord Baden-Powell]] arrived at the Jamboree after opening day, and was received by a welcoming parade of all the Scouts.
