What is a World Scout Jamboree?
The World Scout Jamboree is an event that brings together Scout from all around the world to share the Scouting spirit. A jamboree is a peaceful time for Scouts to promote peace and a mutual understanding of what being a Scout is. It's also a wonderful opportunity to develop leadership and life skills. The World Scout Jamboree occurs only every four years and is hosted by a different country each time.

The Theme
The purpose of the theme, “Draw your Dreams”, is to encourage Scouts to dream and desire and to learn how to turn it into reality through the Scout movement. The jamboree will be a "smart jamboree", meaning there will be a lot of advanced technology used.
