9. Interesting Facts • There have been WSJ every 4 years since 1929 except during WWII and 1979 • 1979 - 15th WSJ in Iran cancelled • Only three countries have hosted more than 1 WSJ England (4), Netherlands (2), Canada (2), Japan (1 + 2015) • WSJ has been hosted in all Continents except Africa & Antarctica • 21st WSJ 2007 – all nations where Scouting exists were represented i.e. every nation on earth except 6

10. Spin Offs • Only a select few can attend a WSJ but the Jamboree experience is an important element of the Scout programme • Every year there are many regional or local jamborees where the essence of the WSJ can be experienced on a smaller scale. e.g. Essex Jamboree.

11. Spin Offs • A Join in Jamboree booklet is published with every WSJ year, containing programme activities for all sections. • Jamboree on the air (JOTA) and Jamboree on the internet (JOTI), take place on the 3rd Weekend in October and allow those who can’t go to the WSJ itself, to meet and communicate with other scouts around the world. • Jamboree on the trail (JOTT) is a Global Hike which takes place in May; during which Scouts all around the World will hike at the same time.
