Etymology
The term 'jamboree' originally emerged in the early 20th century and is believed to be derived from the Swahili word 'jam' meaning 'to meet or come together.' It gained popularity through its association with the Boy Scouts, with the first international jamboree held in 1920 in London. The event was designed to foster international peace and friendship among young people. Over the years, the concept of a jamboree has evolved, encompassing various types of large gatherings and celebrations outside the scouting context. Today, it conveys a sense of festivity and communal joy, often featuring entertainment and activities that promote social interaction.
