DESCRIPTION:
The World Scout Jamboree is an international Scouting event that brings together Scouts and leaders worldwide and is organized by the World Organization of the Scout Movement (WOSM). The gathering symbolizes global unity and promotes cultural understanding, friendship, cooperation, and education in the principles of Scouting.
Unlike national jamborees, the World Scout Jamboree rotates among host countries, allowing Scouts to experience diverse cultures and environments. Participation is open to WOSM member organizations members, attracting tens of thousands of Scouts from hundreds of countries.
The first World Scout Jamboree occurred in 1920 in London, England, and Robert Baden-Powell, the founder of the Scouting movement, initiated it. The event was a testament to the growing popularity and reach of Scouting, a trend that has continued over the subsequent decades.
A typical World Scout Jamboree lasts ten to twelve days with various activities, adventures, and educational experiences. Scouts engage in outdoor activities like hiking, camping, rafting, and climbing, as well as workshops and seminars on topics ranging from environmental stewardship to leadership and community service, activities designed to challenge the Scouts, helping them grow in character, skills, and global awareness.
One of the highlights of the World Scout Jamboree is the opportunity for cultural exchange. Scouts share their unique traditions, food, music, and dance with one another, fostering a sense of global unity and understanding. Participants often return home with increased empathy, broadened horizons, and lifelong friendships.
Environmental conservation has become a focal point in recent World Scout Jamborees, reflecting the movement's commitment to sustainability and responsible citizenship. Many jamborees include large-scale service projects aimed at positively impacting the local community or environment.
Additionally, the World Scout Jamboree allows young people to connect with Scouting alumni, leaders, and other dignitaries who attend as guests. They bring additional insights and inspiration, emphasizing the Scouting movement's global scale and societal significance.
The 2023 World Jamboree was cut short due to an intense heatwave in South Korea, which caused hundreds of scouts to fall sick with heat exhaustion and heat stroke. July 2023 broke all records as the hottest month ever in recorded human history.
