  World Scout Jamboree - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
After its introduction in 1908, Scouting was a worldwide success, and Baden-Powell, the founder of the movement, saw the need for a gathering of representatives from all nations where Scouting had taken hold.
There are two exceptions to this series: no Jamboree was held between 1937 and 1947 because of the Second World War, and the 1979 Jamboree, which was to be held in Iran, was cancelled due to the political upheaval in the region at that time.
The 2007 Jamboree, to be held in the United Kingdom again, is part of the Scouting 2007 Centenary celebrations, and is expecting around 40,000 young people to attend.
