What is scout jamboree?

A Jamboree is a large Scout Adventure Camp held every three years at different sites in New Zealand and attended by around 4000 or more Scouts, Leaders and staff. Its open to all Scouts and children will usually only have one opportunity to attend whilst they are a Scout.

Outdoor education camps and programmes are beneficial for everyone, but especially for children. The Jamboree offers children an opportunity to develop social and leadership skills, as well as important life skills that will help them in years to come, all with like-minded Scouts, who they will create lifelong friendships with.

2. It’s good for physical health and emotional wellbeing
3. It promotes creativity & problem solving
4. It teaches responsibility and independence
