What is a Jamboree?

The Australian Jamboree is Scouts Australia’s largest event.  Held every three years, it regularly attracts around 10,000 Scouts, Venturer Scout helpers and Leaders.  The 26th Australian Jamboree ‘AJ2025’, will be held at in Queensland

A Jamboree is often described as an “experience of a lifetime”. How else can you describe the ten days packed solid with adventure, excitement and fun? How else can you describe a city of 10,000 where everyone is a friend? How else can you describe a Scout camp that is so big it has to have its own hospital, post office, newspaper, radio station, bus station and mail?
