In 1916, Sir Robert Baden-Powell, founder of the Scouting movement, knew what success looked like for the 10th anniversary of Scouting. It was the sight of thousands of youth gathered together to celebrate.

The jamboree was born!

In his words, "The secret of its growth lies in that indeterminate force which we only know as the...Scout Spirit," and grow it has!

Since 1937, more than 654,000 Scouts and leaders have shared the jamboree experience and hiked the trails, paths, and roadways at 16 national Scout jamborees. Now, 100 years after Scouting reached the United States, it's your turn to celebrate!
