One of the most impressive of all Scouting Events is the Jamboree, the National Jamboree is held every four years and is a gathering of Scouts from all over the country. There is also a World Jamboree held for scouts from countries all over the world. Items from these events run the gamut from tents to water bottles, but patches like JSPs or JCTs are probably the most popular. Items dating to the earliest Jamborees will be the most valuable, items dating to the Jamborees from the 70’s begin to be reasonably common and don’t command high prices.
Below is a list of the National Jamborees, years and the location where they were held
