Outline of 23rd World Scout Jamboree
Theme
The theme of the 23rd World Scout Jamboree (23WSJ) is [WA]: a
Spirit of Unity. This Kanji character “和 ” (WA) embraces many meanings such as: unity, harmony, cooperation, friendship and peace.
Moreover, it also represents the essence of Japan, a country were
traditions and the latest technology coexist in harmony. Inspired
by this theme, it is our earnest desire that 23WSJ will contribute to
peace and harmony among youth and create a better world.
“Japan”, “Friendship” and “Peace” are designed
to consider in all aspect of 23WSJ.
Logo
The Jamboree logo is created based on the
traditional Japanese Mizuhiki knot. The impressive and decorative string and knot represent
the energy, new experiences and the unity of
the Scouts gathered from all over the world.
The three colors represent the Jamboree
concepts: Energy, Innovation and Harmony.
Concept
Energy:
The energy which Scouts from all over the world will bring to
the Jamboree and the dynamism of the Scout Movement that
strengthen its mission and ideals.
Innovation:
Having new experiences at the Jamboree, learning about different
cultures and traditions, and fostering critical thinking skills will lead
to personal growth.
Harmony:
Scouts who come from different cultural, religious, and family backgrounds will come together to share their individual experiences
while fostering unity with one another. This key word expresses
peace and harmony in relation to the Scouts.

I. JAMBOREE INFORMATION
Scouting around the World
The Scout Movement was started in England
by Lord Baden Powell in 1907. Scouting is
an educational youth movement engaging
young people from all over the world to
promote unity, respect, friendship, understanding and peace.
World Scouting is brought together by the World Organization of
the Scout Movement (WOSM), which is an independent, worldwide, non-profit, non-partisan. Scouting is the largest youth movement in the world and is a worldwide family of 161 National Scout
Organizations (NSOs) in a network of over 40 million members in
more than 1 million local community Scout groups.
The first Jamboree held in London in 1920, gathered 8,000 Scouts
from 34 countries. Today, the 23WSJ held in Yamaguchi, gathers
33,000 Scouts and from 150 countries.

23rd World Scout Jamboree
Operation Kirara
At each World Scout Jamboree a solidarity project is undertaken
to support the attendance of Scouts from around the world who
might not be able to attend the Jamboree for financial reasons. At
this Jamboree this project is called Operation Kirara. This is a clear
expression of our Scout values of helping other people and helping
to create a better world.
Operation Kirara is the largest solidarity operation ever undertaken
for any World Scout Jamboree. Support has been provided to
enable 480 Scouts from 90 countries to attend the Jamboree. Scouts
have been supported from every Region of World Scouting and this
will make sure that the Jamboree has the widest possible diversity
of countries represented.
The financial support covers the cost of transportation, visas, camp
equipment as well as the cost of their stay before and after the
Jamboree.
This project would not have been possible without the very generous
support of many people but in particular the Japanese government
and all members of Japan Contingent, and we are very grateful for
their support.
This solidarity operation will enable you to meet Scouts from
many more countries from around the world and help to make the
Jamboree a truly global event.

Child Protection, Safe from Harm
Everybody must be a good Jamboree experience. You need to
know that, bullying, abuse, harassment, neglect, and exploitation,
types of behavior that can occur between Scouts, between Scouts
and adults, and between adults, and are strictly not allowed. You
always have the right to say NO to things which make you uncomfortable. Everybody should focus on how to prevent and react to
such behavior.
In an environment such as a Jamboree, an individual’s behavior
influences that of others.
Be aware of your own behavior:
• Treat everyone with dignity and respect.
• If a problem occurs, react firmly and encourage others to do so,
too.
• If a person is acting inappropriately, instruct him/her not to do so.
• Cultivate an environment that encourages young people to express
themselves, but do not promise to keep secret what is said.
• Be attentive to the feelings and personalities of young people.
Do not engage in contact or relationships of a sexual nature with
young people.
• Be careful not to give a false impression through inappropriate
physical contact or the use of inappropriate language.
• If you suspect that someone is being abused, act immediately and
tell a member of the Jamboree staff.
If you have heard or noticed that someone is being bullied abused or
just treated badly, take the necessary action and contact a steward.
It may not be easy to do so, but this is the most important step. At the
Jamboree site, a Steward will receive the report and communicate it
to the Jamboree Headquarters. The staff of the Listening Ear at the
Hub tent will also be in charge of protecting youth, and will deal with
reports and take necessary actions.

Identification of Participants
For the identification of participants and guests,
Neckerchiefs and Jamboree IDs will be issued.
Everyone must wear his/her Neckerchief
and Jamboree ID at all times unless asked to
remove them for safety reasons. If you notice
anyone without a Neckerchief, report the fact
immediately to a Steward nearby. Stewards
will be patrolling the site, or managing the
gate, and can be identified by the vest that
they wear. Do not hesitate to talk to Stewards
about any problem. Stewards will receive
reports if any problem arises and liaise with the
Jamboree Headquarters.
Getting a replacement Jamboree ID
If you lose your Jamboree ID, ask your Unit
Leader to accompany you and to report it to
your Sub Camp Office. You will be required to
go to the Welcome Centre to get a replacement.

II. LIFE AT THE JAMBOREE SITE
Look after yourself
The Jamboree will be a better experience if you don’t get sick or
injured, so here is some advice.
Effect of the weather
Every year, during the period when the Jamboree will be held,
the weather at the Jamboree site is typically hot and sunny, with
the temperature often exceeding 30°C (86°F) during the day and
remaining above 25°C (77°F) during the night.
Fight against heat and heatstroke and protecting yourself from
the sun:
• Drink plenty of water and always carry a bottle with you
• Wear a hat
• Use sunscreen and sunglasses
• Create shade and arrange your tent layout to take advantage of
the breeze
• Rest regularly and sleep enough
• Take minerals (salt)
Fight against rain:
• Wear a raincoat
• Wear a hat
• Try to keep yourself dry
While you are participating in an off-site programme, you will not be
able to return to the Sub Camp. So make sure you take everything
necessary with you.
Stay healthy
• Look after your personal hygiene and wash regularly
• Wash your hands several times per day (especially after visiting
the toilet and before preparing food)
• Rest regularly and sleep enough
• Eat proper meals and take time to enjoy them
• Drink plenty of water
• Don’t store food that might go bad

23rd World Scout Jamboree
Keeping valuable items safe
Valuable items
Items such as cameras, mobile phones, music players and game
machines may be at risk if they are left unattended. When participating in a programme, don’t leave valuable items in your tent. Take
good care of your property including travel documents such as
passport. Check how your Unit or Contingent is taking care of its
property.
Lost and found
Lost property will be kept in the area where it was found (e.g. Sub
Camp office, programme reception desk). Please go to the place
where you think you lost the items. After several days, go directly
to the office of Safety Department at Jamboree Headquarters. They
have a list of lost items. Valuable items that we cannot trace to their
owner will be kept for only one month after the Jamboree.
If you find lost property, please take it to any headquarters or a
nearby programme reception desk. Be sure to affix your name and
affiliation to your valuable items.

Religious Services
Participants at the Jamboree will have the opportunity to take part
in a Religious observance during the week. Over 30 of these gatherings have been planned into the Jamboree Programme. You will
find it in the next page.
In addition to these normal weekly gatherings there will be a wide
range of services at different parts of the Jamboree Site. This is a
good time to either meet up with Scouts of your own religious tradition, or to go and see what Scouts of different religious traditions
do when they come together to pray or meditate. It is also a good
time to say thank you for 108 years of Scouting and to ask that it
continues to grow and help create a better world.
We hope that you feel free to come and observe services that are
not of your own religious tradition. It can be an enriching experience and another way of experiencing something new during the
Jamboree. Please feel free to join in and to ask questions about what
is happening.
Some quiet places will be also available for personal prayer.
Other services will be added at the Faith and Beliefs Zone.

During the Jamboree and in your daily life, it is important to reduce,
reuse and recycle waste in order to minimize our impact to the environment. Please consider our planet a little bit more than usual at
the Jamboree site, and separate your waste in several categories
according to the regulations of Yamaguchi City. Let’s think of this as
a game to sort waste.
Sort waste in the Jamboree
You will find 16 types of trash boxes around the Jamboree site. You
may feel it is difficult to separate into 16 types at the first time, but
staff will assist you to sort your waste if you cannot decide which bin
is appropriate.
The protocol is described in the “Sub Camp life – Facilities at Sub
Camp Waste” in the page of 60. Please consider the importance of
sorting waste. As you know, we can solve the global issues by your
personal contribution.

V. PROGRAMME
Let’s play Japanese Traditional Games
Daruma san ga Koronda
Daruma is a traditional Japanese doll consisting of a limbless oval
body with a face painted on it. Because the base is heavy, whenever Daruma falls over, it immediately right itself again, and so it
is considered to be a bringer of good luck. This game Darumasan
Ga Koronda, meaning Daruma fell over, can be played anywhere,
indoors or outdoors. Similar games played elsewhere in the world
include Red light, green light, Grandmother’s footsteps, London and
Un, deux, trois, soleil. One person is the oni, a devil from Japanese
folklore. The oni stands with his back to the other players. The oni
counts to ten by saying da-ru-ma-sa-n-ga-ko-ro-n-da. While the oni
counts to ten, the others approach the oni. They can move only
while the oni is counting. The oni can control the timing by counting
quickly or slowly. When the counting is finished, the oni turns
around. The rest of the players should stop. If the oni sees anyone
still moving, that person is caught and has to hold hands with the
oni. As the game proceeds, theothers keep getting closer to the oni
little by little. As they reach the caught players, they release them by
touching hand that the oni is holding, and everyone runs away. If the
oni shouts stop, then everyone must stop. However, if nobody has
been caught, they touch the oni’s back. The oni tries to catch any of
the people who are spread out. The oni jumps three steps at a time
and can control the distance by taking either big steps or small ones.
If the oni touches somebody, that person will be the next oni.
96
23rd World Scout Jamboree
Atchi Muite Hoi!
In this game for two players, the players face each other and say
Saisho wa guu! Jan ken pon! and on the pon make the sign for rock,
paper, or scissors. As everyone knows, rock beats scissors, scissors
beat paper, and paper beats rock. Whoever wins says Atchi muite
hoi! and on the hoi she points toward the face of the other player,
either up, down, left, or right. At the same time, the loser has to look
in any direction other than that in which the winner is pointing. If
she looks in the same direction as the other player is pointing, she
loses and the game is over. But if she looks in a different direction,
the game continues. They say aiko desho! and on the sho they make
the sign for rock, paper, or scissors, and then continue with Atchi
muite hoi! and aiko desho! The game ends when the loser looks in
the same direction as the other player is pointing with her finger.

VI. INFORMATION FOR ADULTS
Information for Adults
Adult Life
Who are adults?
In the Jamboree, the word “adults” used to refer to everyone who is
not a youth participant. Adults at the Jamboree play a very important
role in ensuring the young people have the best Jamboree possible
– without your hard work and support we would have no Jamboree.
In Japan, the legal adult age is 20 years old (inclusive). Before his
or her 20th birthday, person is considered as a minor, and is not
allowed to smoke or drink alcohol.
Just to remind you that this is an alcohol-free Jamboree and smoking
is only allowed in the designated smoking area.
In case of Emergency
As an adult at the Jamboree, we expect each one of you to take an
active role in case of emergency. Especially if you are working in an
area where you talk to participants or visitors, it is important that you
know how to react when an emergency occurs. Please make sure
that you are well aware of what you need to do in case of an emergency, please read the information on page 38–39.
If you have any question regarding your emergency action at your
work, please ask your department leaders. Each department has
Safety Responsible Person.
100
23rd World Scout Jamboree
Southern Hub
The Southern Hub area is the Sub Camps for staff members,
including ISTs and CMTs. Some of the Southern Hub facility is also
open for any other participating adults such as Unit Leaders. Please
note the Sub Camp area of the Southern Hub is closed for those who
are not camping in the area.
Pitching your tent
Each contingent has a designated area to camp. You are only
allowed to camp in the designated campsite for your Contingent. As
space is very limited you are not allowed to pitch tents outside your
Contingent’s area. We also need to consider safety and the flow of
people. Any tents outside the designated area will be asked to relocate. In addition, you are not allowed to use pegs longer than 20cm,
due to the permanent drainage system underground.
Staff Restaurant
Adults living in the Southern Hub will take their meals at the Staff
Restaurant. You will be asked to show your meal card along with your
Jamboree IDs. The Staff Restaurant is open for breakfast from 5:00–
9:00 and reopens for dinner from 17:00 to 22:00. Lunch will be given
at breakfast and you are asked to bring a bag to collect your lunch.
Toilets and Showers
The Southern Hub has dedicated shower and toilets sections. They
are open 24 hours but there may be some disturbance for cleaning.
Please note the cleaning and the maintenance is also done by ISTs,
so please respect your fellow Scouters doing the work that no body
likes and keep the facilities as clean as possible! If you find any
facility that is not properly working, please inform the Southern Hub
staff.
Bulletin Boards
All the most important information about your work and life at
the Jamboree will be posted on the Bulletin Boards located in the
Southern Hub. Please make sure you find the Bulletin Board around
your campsite on the day you arrive, and please check it at least
twice a day!
101
VI. INFORMATION FOR ADULTS
Be quiet at all time
Southern Hub is the campsite for adults. Please note that there are
many people working throughout the night, very early morning or
on late evening shifts. Please be aware that there will always be
somebody sleeping or resting right next to you. Strict quiet hours
will be enforced from 23:00 to 6:00 for the benefit of everyone.
Bicycle
You may have the chance to ride a bicycle during the Jamboree.
Please remember pedestrians have always priority and you need to
wear helmet if you are on a bike. In Japan, bicycle must keep to the
left side of the road. You are required to have a light on a bike after
sunset.
Stay Safe
There are several areas off limits to everyone, including adults. You
are welcome to use the beach on the Jamboree site. However you
are not allowed to go into water during the time when there are no
lifeguards on the beach. You may be feel its nice to go into water, but
you will be more tired than you think and it is significant risk for you
to go into the water.
Keep noise down
Southern Hub is a quiet area at all times. If you would like to share
sometime with your friends, please go to the Plaza. If you are making
too much noise, you may be guided to an area further away from the
living area. Please follow the instructions Stewards and remember
they are volunteers like you and trying to make the Jamboree great
for everyone.
Getting a replacement Jamboree IDs
If you lose your Jamboree ID, you need to bring your photo ID (such
as passport) to the Welcome Centre. If you need to go back to your
tent in order to pick up your ID, you need to talk to the Stewards to
explain the situation. You may not be allowed to enter the Sub Camp
without their escort.
102
23rd World Scout Jamboree
If you are a Unit Leader or a CMT and trying to get replacement ID
for a Scout, you have to bring your (adult’s) ID card in order to proof
you are a registered adult to allow the reissue of the participants’
ID card.
103
VI. INFORMATION FOR ADULTS
Looking after yourself and others
• Work hard and play hard. You have a very important role but at
the same time you should enjoy the Jamboree.
• Rest well. You will be tired from your journey and you are in very
unusual environment both physically and mentally.
• Eat and drink regularly. Carry your water bottle and drink water
regularly. If you feel thirsty this means your body really needs
water.
• Wash your body and change your clothes frequently.
• Don’t burn up! Use sun cream and hat.
• Be careful around your site. Look out for guy ropes and holes.
• Watch out for bicycles and service vehicles. Warn others of any
traffic hazards.
What about sex?
When many people gathered together from all over the world, it
sometimes happens that you find a person that you like very much.
Please remember, that we are from many cultures and not every
culture has the same approach and view on personal intimacy. Do
not force anyone to do something that the person is uncomfortable
with. Do not let anyone force you into doing things you do not want
to do. Respect each other. If you feel uncomfortable in anyway or
are in trouble, the Listening Ear team is here to help: see page 28.

VI. INFORMATION FOR ADULTS
Information for ISTs
Specific Information for ISTs
IST Generic Training
All ISTs are required to attend the IST Generic Training. This training
is the introduction to the Jamboree and aims to inform and inspire
you at the start. On Saturday 25 and Sunday 26 July, the Generic
Training will be held at Kirara-dome, and it is scheduled in different
locations on other days see the Bulletin Boards.
After the Generic Training, ISTs will either be greeted by their
department staff or given information about the meeting time and
venue for their department specific training. In some case, staff from
Human Resources Department (HR) will take you to the allocated
department. Time and available languages will be posted on the
Bulletin Boards.
Department Specific Training
Each department has different plan for job specific IST training. This
training includes introduction of the team leadership, building team
and instruction for the specific tasks you will undertake during the
Jamboree. The time and location of this training will be informed
to you during the Generic IST training, but you can also contact the
Southern Hub Office if you are unsure about it.
Working Environment
The truth is that working at the Jamboree will be one of the most
intense experiences of your life, and it will be hard work. Here are
some things to consider to ensure that the event is a success for you
and the 33,000 others at the Jamboree!
• Above all, be flexible. Things will change. You may be asked to
help others with very short notice, so be prepared. As scouts we
help others at all time!
• You may be asked to work very long hours, especially in the first
few days. It is really hard until things start running smoothly, as is
always the case at Jamborees.
• Jamboree is really a town of 33,000 people. Just like any other
town, there is always somebody working around the clock, and
112
23rd World Scout Jamboree
you may be asked to be one of those people. You may also be
asked to work irregular hours, such as early in the morning or very
late at the night.
• Remember, you are at the World Scout Jamboree! It is so special
because there are so many people from so many countries! But
this will make some for challenges because we have various
cultural differences. Respect others, and ask people if you felt
something is difficult. In many cases, problems are caused simply
from misunderstandings or conceptual difference from culture.
This is also an opportunity to learn new things – so treat the challenges as a learning experience. There is more information about
coping with problems on this handbook.
• This Jamboree could be very hot or very wet. Make sure you drink
enough water, and keep your hygiene. Once you become sick,
you will not enjoy this great event.
Jamboree Organization
Jamboree is organized with the support of over 7,000 volunteer
staff, including you! International Service Team (IST) is the biggest
group to run the Jamboree. The Jamboree Delivery Team (JDT),
which are the volunteers involved in the planning of the Jamboree
and their role is to, support the IST.
There are 14 departments in the Jamboree Organization. If you are
an IST, JDT or JCT, you will be part of a department. Each department is lead by Head of Department (HOD). In some case, there are
two HODs, one Japanese and one international HOD.
HODs are also member of the Jamboree Core Team (JCT), which
is coordinating tasks between departments. The Jamboree
Management Team (JMT) makes operational decisions and is the
leadership for the JCT. JMT reports to the Camp Chief and Deputy
Camp Chiefs.
113
VI. INFORMATION FOR ADULTS
IST work allocation
Each IST receives assignment to one of the 14 departments. This
assignment was notified to each Contingent prior to the Jamboree,
and it will be confirmed during the check in process.
IST allocation is made in consideration of your preference shown
during the registration. However, not everybody received the allocation they wanted. If you are allocated for the work you wanted
for, please remember you are a very lucky person. Even if you are
allocated to the work you did not hope for, you are still very lucky
person for participating in the World Scout Jamboree! The best part
of the IST experience is working with people from other countries,
helping each other and making a memorable Jamborees for all!

each Unit is responsible to keep their site and surroundings tidy.

educational programme in Japan. Unit will be asked to clean toilets
and showers in the Sub Camp by rotation. Units will be provided

VI. LIFE AFTER THE JAMBOREE
History of Jamboree
The basic concept of the Jamboree was made by Lord Baden-Powell,
the founder of Scouting, who wanted to hold one special event to
bring together Scouts of all nationalities.
The first Jamboree, held at London’s Olympia in 1920, was the first
truly international gathering of Scouts and brought together 8,000
Scouts from 34 countries.
Jamboree is now an international term used to describe a large
gathering of Scouts. Since 1920, World Scout Jamborees have been
held every four years since 1959, in principle, and hosted by National
Scout Organisations all over the world.
