The first World Scout Jamboree was organized by [[The Scout Association|The Boy Scout Association]] in London. With exceptions for the war years, it has been organized approximately every four years, in the more recent years by the [[World Organization of the Scout Movement]] (WOSM), in different locations over the world. The [[21st World Scout Jamboree]] in 2007, to be organized in [[Hylands Park]], [[Essex]], United Kingdom, will be celebrating the [[Scouting 2007 Centenary|Centenary of Scouting]].

The [[Scouting]] programme became an international success following its founding by [[Robert Baden-Powell, 1st Baron Baden-Powell|Baden-Powell]] in 1907. With is continuing growth, the founder of the movement saw a need for a gathering of representatives of Scouting from all around the world. The general aim was to foster a worldwide brotherhood, and to help the young boys in the movement learn about other peoples and nations by direct interaction with them.

However, the outbreak of the [[First World War]] in 1914 delayed any plans for such an event. It was not until 1920 that the first World Scout Jamboree could be realized. It was held in [[Olympia, England|the Olympia halls]] in [[Kensington]], London. 8,000 Scouts from 34 countries attended the event.

To replace the cancelled event of 1979, the [[World Scout Committee]] determined that an alternative celebration, the [[15th World Scout Jamboree (cancelled)|Jamboree of the Year]] should take place. Several regional camps took place, along with countless Join-in-Jamboree activities - designed to allow Scouts from around the world to participate in an activity that thousands of other Scouts around the world were also participating in at the same time. This ''Join-in'' programme is being reproduced again as part of the [[Scouting 2007 Centenary]] celebrations.

So far, the greatest attendance of all Jamborees was in 1929, where over 50,000 members from around the world descended upon [[Birkenhead]] in the north-west of England. This number represented the permanent contingent who remained for the entire event. They were joined by hundreds of thousands of visiting Scouts who participated on a day basis.

The first Jamboree was more akin to an exhibition of Scouting, allowing visitors to see how things were done in other parts of the world. The Second Jamboree was conducted on a camp basis and each successive Jamboree has developed on this format where the programme is typically more activity oriented, with plenty of time for Scouts from different nations to interact and learn about each other in less formal ways than an exhibition would allow.

The next Jamboree will be in 2007 and coincides with the Scouting Centenary celebrations. Because of this, the honour of hosting the event has again been bestowed upon the United Kingdom, as the birthplace of Scouting. It is expected that 40,000 young people will be camping in August at [[Hylands Park]] in [[Essex]]. It is also expected that hundreds of thousands of day visitors will attend events in the south-east of England as part of the Jamboree.

There are up to ten smaller Jamboree (or Jamborette) events held each year around the world. This includes [[World Organization of the Scout Movement#World Scout Bureau|Regional]] Jamborees, which are held every three years in their areas of the world. Scouts from outside these regions are invited, but attendance is generally lower (for example, the [[WOSM-European Region#EuroJam 2005|EuroJam 2005]] event hosted 10,000 Scouts, mostly from Europe).

National associations, and sub-national groups, also organise a number of events, such as the [[Scouting in Royal Berkshire#WINGS|WINGS]] event, which is organised by a [[Scout Counties|County]] level body.

'''Jamboree on the Air''', known by its acronym '''JOTA''', is an international [[Scouting]] and [[Girl Guides|Guiding]] activity held annually on the third full weekend in October. The event was first held in conjunction with the fiftieth anniversary of Scouting in 1957, and was devised by a radio amateur with the callsign G3BHK. It is now one of Scoutings largest events.

[[Amateur radio operator]]s from all over the world participate with Scouts and Guides to teach them about radio and to assist them to contact their fellow Scouts and Guides by means of [[shortwave]] radio and [[IRC]]. This provides the Scouts and Guides with a means of learning about fellow Scouts and Guides from around the world. It is an adjunct to the World Scout Jamboree.

'''Jamboree on the Internet''', known by its acronym '''JOTI''', is an international [[Scouting]] activity held annually. Participants, through the use of designated Chats from all over the world, can contact their fellow scouts by means of the [[Internet]]. Common communication methods include [[ScoutLink]] (IRC), e-mail, and VOIP. This provides the Scouts with a means of learning about fellow Scouts from around the world. JOTI.org reports that JOTI had over 4,000 participants online at one time in 2005.

In November 1996 the [[World Scout Committee]], noting that Scouting already had a considerable presence on the Internet, and that there was already an informal and rapidly growing Jamboree on the Internet, decided that JOTI should become an official international Scouting event, and that it should be held on the same weekend as the Jamboree on the Air (JOTA).
