A Jamboree scout is a gathering of Scout S.

The legend wants that Jamboree is an English word of Zulu origin, which means “gathering”, and which was used by Baden-Powell (founder of scouting) to indicate the gatherings scouts. However, this origin is very dubious. This word would have been proposed by Baden-Powell himself, after he had refused other more traditional proposals (" Rallye" , " Parade" …) because he would have liked a word new, nine, to identify this specific gathering.

Various types of jamboree
