| | #REDIRECT [[Jamboree]] |
| In [[Scouting]], a '''jamboree''' is a large gathering of Scouts who rally at a national or international level.
| |
| | |
| The [[1st World Scout Jamboree]] was held in 1920, and was hosted by the United Kingdom. Since then, there have been twenty one [[World Scout Jamboree]]s, hosted in various countries, generally every four years.
| |
| | |
| There are also national and continental jamborees held around the world with varying frequency. Many of these events will invite and attract Scouts from overseas.

| |
| The etymology of this term has several possible origins, ranging from Hindi to Swahili to Native American dialects. It may also be related to corroboree, an Australian Aboriginal term for any noisy, late-night gathering or disturbance.
| |
| | |
| [[Robert Baden-Powell, 1st Baron Baden-Powell|Baden-Powell]] chose the name as ''rally'', ''meeting'' and ''gathering'' did not fully capture the spirit of this then-new concept. The name is thought to be derived from the Swahili for hello, ''jambo'', as a result of the considerable amount of time he spent in the region. At the first world jamboree at Olympia in 1920, Lord Baden-Powell said "People give different meanings for this word, but from this year on, ''jamboree'' will take a specific meaning. It will be associated to the largest gathering of youth that ever took place."
| |
| | |
| Olave, Lady Baden-Powell, coined the term ''jamborese'' to refer to the ''lingua franca'' used between Scouts of different languages and cultural habits, that develops when diverse Scouts meet, that fosters friendship and understanding between Scouts of the world. Sometimes the word '''jamborette''' is used to denote smaller, either local or international, gatherings.
| |
| | |
| Girl Guides rarely use the term jamboree for their gatherings. Girl Scouts, however, do use the word.
