WJ XVI 1987 Australia World Jamboree Background

16th World Scout Jamboree - Cataract Park, Sydney, Australia, 1987

Held at Cataract Park, a specially constructed Scout tent town situated on a 160-hectare site near Sydney, this was the first World Scout Jamboree to be held in the Southern Hemisphere.

Under the theme "Bringing the World Together", 16,000 Scouts from over 80 countries attended the Jamboree with around 13,000 more in attendance on "visiting day". The 850 strong UK contingent included 18 Ranger Guides (the first time Members of The Guide Association have taken part in a World Scout Jamboree), Mrs Betty Clay, daughter of the Founder, and 11 members of the Baden-Powell family, nine of whom are direct descendants of Baden-Powell.

The opening ceremony of the Jamboree, which took place at midnight on 31 December 1987, was the first official event of Australia's Bicentennial celebrations.

The World Scout Jamboree is a Scouting Jamboree of the World Organization of the Scout Movement, typically attended by several tens of thousands of Scouts from around the world, aged 14 to 17.

The first World Scout Jamboree was organized by The Scout Association in London. With exceptions for the World War years and the Iranian Revolution, it has been organized approximately every four years, and in the more recent years has been organised by the World Organization of the Scout Movement (WOSM), in different locations over the world. At the jamboree, many scouts will swap badges.
