On-site and off-site activities for every interest
Thousands of people camping, cooking, and exploring together
A unique cultural mix you can’t find anywhere else

Push their limits and try new challenges
Build independence and leadership skills
Experience new cultures and make friends from all over the world
Be part of something huge, exciting, and inspiring

🌏 Jamboree

A Jamboree is the ultimate Scouting camp — a massive gathering of Scouts, Venturers, Rovers, and Leaders that happens at Australian, World, and Regional levels. It’s a chance to live, learn, and play in a mini-city built just for Scouts, packed with adventure activities, cultural exchanges, and unforgettable experiences.

🏕️ What is a Jamboree?

At an Australian Jamboree, Scouts from every state and territory meet every three years. World Jamborees bring together tens of thousands of Scouts from over 150 countries every four years. Regional Jamborees (like Asia-Pacific) connect Scouts from neighbouring countries for a unique cultural and adventure-filled camp.

High ropes, abseiling, and climbing walls
Water activities and obstacle courses
Robotics, coding, and creative arts
Cultural exchange hubs and global friendship tents
