The New Zealand Scout Jamboree is a jamboree which is held every three years by Scouts New Zealand. The Jamboree is traditionally held in late December and early January. The 21st New Zealand Scout Jamboree was held at Renwick Domain, Marlborough on the South Island from 29 December 2016 to 7 January 2017.
The first NZ Scout jamboree was held in Dunedin in 1929. In recent years Jamborees have been held every three years. The list of Jamborees include:
The 21st New Zealand Scout Jamboree will be held at Renwick Domain, Marlborough on South Island from 29 December 2016 to 7 January 2017. Giesen Park in Renwick will host the main camp site with four other activity hubs in Picton, Blenheim, Omaka and in Pine Valley. As in almost all Jamborees, the event is divided into a number of sub-camps and attending Scout troops are allocated to a specific sub-camp. Each sub-camp has its own administration and support, provided by volunteers. The event has been welcomed locally with the 4500 participants expected to bring and economic boost to the area Special transport arrangements have been put in place to get all the Scouts and supporters to and from the site.
Jamborees provide opportunities for both adults and young people to work as volunteer members of staff (often called the "support team" to provide a number of services to the Jamboree. Staff members arrive a number of days before the jamboree begins and usually depart on the same day or a few days later to set up the site so that it is ready for the scouts to arrive on opening day.
The Youth Staff team (YST) is a group of about 150 people aged from Yr 12 (in 2016) to 26 years old. These volunteers come from Venturer groups all over the country and some may be from overseas. YST’s role is to give service and a chance to give back to Scouting.
The 20th New Zealand Scout Jamboree (also known as NZ20 or MPWR) was held at , Feilding, New Zealand between 28 December 2013 and 6 January 2014.
