第十五屆世界童軍大露營以「精神永續（The Spirit Lives On）」為主題，於1983年在加拿大亞伯達省的卡納那斯基（Kananaskis Country）舉行，吸引了來自近一百個國家的超過一萬五千名童軍齊聚壯麗的落磯山脈。
The 15th World Scout Jamboree, held in 1983 in Kananaskis Country, Alberta, Canada, marked a significant moment in Scouting history with its theme, “The Spirit Lives On.” This theme resonated deeply with the global Scouting community, symbolizing resilience and continuity following the cancellation of the 1979 Jamboree in Iran due to the Iranian Revolution.
這一屆大露營在童軍歷史上具有重要意義，其主題「精神永續」深深引起全球童軍的共鳴，象徵著童軍運動在1979年伊朗革命導致該屆露營取消後的堅韌與延續。
Nestled in the foothills of the Rocky Mountains, 4,000 feet above sea level, the Jamboree site provided a rugged and picturesque setting for the event. The location, known for its natural beauty, also added a sense of adventure with occasional visits from local wildlife, including bears and moose, which added an element of realism to the backwoods camping experience.
營地坐落於落磯山脈的山麓地帶，海拔約四千英尺，環境原始而壯麗。這片以自然美景聞名的地區，也增添了冒險的氣息——當地野生動物如熊與麋鹿偶爾現身，使野外露營的體驗更添真實感。
The Jamboree brought together over 15,000 Scouts from nearly 100 countries, fostering a strong sense of international camaraderie and goodwill. Among them were 1,345 Scouts from the United Kingdom, contributing to the rich diversity of the event. The Canadian hosts were praised for their warm hospitality, which was a hallmark of the Jamboree, helping to create an atmosphere of unity and friendship among the participants.

The event featured a wide range of activities, including outdoor adventures, cultural exchanges, and community-building exercises, all designed to embody the spirit of Scouting. The Jamboree’s theme, “The Spirit Lives On,” not only reflected the perseverance of the Scouting movement but also celebrated the enduring connections and shared values that unite Scouts across the globe.
活動內容豐富多元，包括戶外探險、文化交流與團隊合作等項目，充分展現了童軍精神的真諦。這屆大露營的主題「精神永續」不僅象徵童軍運動的堅持與毅力，更讚頌了跨越國界、代代相傳的友誼與共同價值。
