Jamboree
Jamboree was a name given by Baden Powell to the first International gathering of scouts at Olympia, London, in 1920. When asked, "Why Jamboree?" Baden Powell replied "What else would you call it?"
Indaba
a Zulu word, means gathering of chiefs The first World Indaba was held at Gilwell Park, in Essex, the training ground for Scout Leaders, in 1952.
