The '''4th World Scout Jamboree''', a gathering of Boy Scouts from all over the world, was hosted by [[Hungary]] and held from August 2 to August 13, 1933. It was attended by 25,792 [[Boy Scout|Scouts]], representing 46 different nations and additional territories. They encamped around the Royal Palace in the [[Gödöllő|Royal Forest of Gödöllő]], about 11 miles from the capital of [[Budapest]].

The '''4th World Scout Jamboree''' was hosted by Hungary, and was held in [[1933]].


It was the second-to-last Jamboree for the founder of Scouting, [[Robert Baden-Powell, 1st Baron Baden-Powell|Robert Baden-Powell]]. Baden-Powell and Hungarian head of state, [[Miklós Horthy|Regent Horthy]], addressed the Scouts from the grandstand built to accommodate over 5000 guests during an opening ceremony at the rally ground. Regent Horthy told the Scouts,
25,000 [[Boy Scout|Scouts]] participated in the event, representing 34 different nations. They encamped in the [[Gödöllő|Royal Forest of Gödöllő]], about 11 miles from the capital of Budapest.

The [[white stag]] of [[Hungarian mythology]] was the national symbol of [[Hungary]] and the official badge of the Jamboree. During the Jamboree, Scouts from the American contingent learned from their Hungarian "cousin" the meaning of the White Stag on their jamboree patch:


{{cquote|One day, many years ago, Hunor and Magor, the two sons of King Nimrod of the Orient, were out hunting with a number of their men. Suddenly, from a thicket, jumped the most beautiful deer they had ever seen. Immediately they started in pursuit. Over mountain sides, through valleys and forests, across rivers, they followed the magnificent animal, until, with darkness, they lost track of it. There was nothing for them to do except make camp right where they were and await the coming of morning.

When they awoke the next morning, a gorgeous sight greeted their eyes. In their wild ride, they had crossed the borders of their own country and had arrived in another of which they had never heard, a country richly endowed with good soil, beautiful forest, fruits, flowers, game and fish. Hunor and Magyar, decided that this was the land of their choice. They went back for their father's blessing and then returned with their wives to their new rich country.
Through the ages they prospered.
The descendants of Hunor became the Huns and of Magor, the Magyars, who now form the Hungarian nation.<ref name=jambobook/>}}
[[Robert Baden-Powell, 1st Baron Baden-Powell|Baden-Powell]] also referred to the symbol of the Hungarian people in his farewell address to the assembled Scouts:
{{cquote|Each one of you wears the badge of the White Stag of Hungary. I want you to treasure that badge when you go from here and to remember that, like the Golden Arrow, it also has its message and its meaning for you.
The Hungarian hunters of old pursued the miraculous Stag, not because they expected to kill it, but because it led them on in the joy of the chase to new trails and fresh adventures, and so to capture happiness. You may look on that White Stag as the pure spirit of Scouting, springing forward and upward, ever leading you onward and upward to leap over difficulties, to face new adventures in your active pursuit of the higher aims of Scouting—aims which bring you happiness.
These aims are to do your duty wholeheartedly to God, to your country, and to your fellow man by carrying out the Scout Law. In that way you will, each one of you, help to bring about God's kingdom upon earth—the reign of peace and goodwill.
Therefore, before leaving you, I ask you Scouts this question—Will you do your best to make friendship with others and peace in the world?|From Baden-Powell's farewell speech<ref name=wosm_ws />

Bánáthy|Béla Bánáthy]], who met Baden-Powell when he inspected Béla's campsite, and was inspired as an adult to draw on the myth of the [[white stag]] from [[Hungarian mythology]] when he organized the [[White Stag Leadership Development Program]] in [[Monterey]], [[California]] in 1958. In Monterey, Béla would meet three other men who had attended the Jamboree: Joseph Szentkirályi (later Americanized as Joseph St. Clair) became Chairman of the Hungarian Language Department at the [[Defense Language Institute|Army Language School]]; Paul Ferenc Suján (whose stew was tasted by Baden Powell at that same Jamboree) was also an instructor at the Army Language School; and American Scouter F. Maurice Tripp had become a research scientist and a member of the National Council of the Boy Scouts of America.
At the same time, the newly formed [[World Association of Girl Guides and Girl Scouts]] held its first [[World Camp (Guiding)|World Camp]] in [[Gödöllő|Royal Forest of Gödöllő]] from July 25 to August 7, 1939, and attended by some 5,800 Girl Guides from around the world.

To commemorate the tenth anniversary of the Jamboree, a statue by sculpture Lőrinc Siklódi of a Boy Scout was erected on October 17, 1943 across from the Guard Barracks in [[Gödöllő|Royal Forest of Gödöllő]], Hungary. After Communist forces liberated the country from [[Nazi]] [[Germany]], the original statue by sculptor Lőrinc Siklódi was removed during 1948 when the [[Iron Curtain]] fell and the government moved to suppress Scouting. In 1994, after democracy and Scouting was reestablished in Hungary, the community around [[Gödöllő]] moved to locate and re-erect the statue. 
After a long search, the original statue could not be found, and a committee was established with the purpose of erecting a new statue. They decided to enlarge [[Zsigmond Kisfaludi Strobl]]'s {{convert|50|in|cm}} statuette entitled '''The Boy Scout'''. A student of Kisfaludi Strobl, István Pál, was chosen to complete the work.

The 4th World Scout Jamboree was hosted by Hungary, and was held in 1933.

25,000 Scouts participated in the event, representing 34 different nations. They encamped in the Royal Forest of Gödöllő, about 11 miles from the capital of Budapest.

The camp chief was Teleki Pál, the member of the International Committee who later became Prime Minister of Hungary.

This event is notable as the first international gathering where Air Scouts were represented.

Every foreign group at the Jamboree was assigned a "cousin" - a Hungarian Scout who would serve as a translator and guide.

The white stag on the official badge was the national symbol of Hungary, and inspired Baden-Powell to make the following speech:

"You may look on that white stag as the pure spirit of Scouting, springing forward and upward, ever leading you onward and upward, to leap over difficulties, to face new adventures."[1]

To celebrate the 60th anniversary of the fourth World Jamboree, the Hungarian Scout association Magyar Cserkészszövetség hosted a fourth World Jamboree Memorial Camp at Bélapátfalva, Hungary in 1993.
