Em 1920, houve a primeira reunião mundial de escoteiros. Logo promoveu-se uma nova edição a cada 4 anos. O local era escolhido pela Conferência Escoteira Mundial. Os Jamborees são uma oportunidade para o intercambio de escoteiros de todo o mundo. Funciona como uma olimpíada, porém, nas concentrações não há disputa, e sim muita confraternização.
