第十六屆世界童軍大露營
The Jamboree held in 1987-1988 at Cataract Scout Park near Sydney, Australia, was the first in the Southern Hemisphere, uniting over 14,000 Scouts from 84 countries under the theme “Bringing the World Together”
The 16th World Scout Jamboree, held from December 30, 1987, to January 7, 1988, at Cataract Scout Park near Sydney, Australia, was a historic event, marking the first time a World Scout Jamboree was hosted in the Southern Hemisphere. The theme “Bringing the World Together” was embodied by the 14,434 Scouts from 84 countries who participated, with an additional 13,000 visitors attending on the designated visiting day.
第十六屆世界童軍大露營於1987年12月30日至1988年1月7日，在澳洲雪梨附近的卡塔拉克童軍公園（Cataract Scout Park）舉行。這是世界童軍大露營首次在南半球舉辦，具有劃時代的意義。本屆主題為「讓世界相聚」（Bringing the World Together），共有來自84個國家的14,434名童軍參加，並在開放參觀日吸引了約13,000名訪客。
This Jamboree was particularly notable for its timing; the opening ceremony at midnight on December 31, 1987, was the first official event of Australia’s Bicentennial celebrations. The event featured various activities, including the Challenge Valley obstacle course and the Great Aussie Surf Carnival, which saw Scouts transported to Thirroul Beach for a day of coastal activities.
這次大露營的舉辦時間極具象徵性——1987年12月31日午夜的開幕典禮，同時也是澳洲建國二百週年慶典的首場官方活動。營期間舉辦了多樣化的活動，包括「挑戰谷」障礙競賽（Challenge Valley）以及「澳洲大衝浪嘉年華」（Great Aussie Surf Carnival），童軍們被載往瑟魯爾海灘（Thirroul Beach），享受一天充滿海岸冒險的活動。
The Jamboree also marked a significant moment for inclusion, with 18 Ranger Guides from the UK participating, the first time members of The Guide Association were officially part of a World Scout Jamboree. Additionally, the event had strong ties to the Scouting legacy, with Betty Clay, daughter of Scouting’s founder Robert Baden-Powell, attending alongside eleven members of the Baden-Powell family.
這屆大露營在包容性方面也具有里程碑意義——來自英國的18位女童軍嚮導（Ranger Guides）首次以正式身份參加世界童軍大露營，象徵著童軍與女童軍之間的合作邁向新階段。此外，活動也延續了童軍創始人的精神傳承，貝登堡之女貝蒂‧克萊（Betty Clay）與其他十一位貝登堡家族成員一同出席，為活動增添歷史意義。
The Jamboree’s location in the Australian bush added an adventurous edge, with the vast, specially constructed tent city providing a fitting backdrop for this global gathering.
大露營設於澳洲叢林地帶，廣闊的臨時帳篷城搭建而成，展現出粗獷而富冒險精神的氛圍，成為這場世界級童軍盛會的完美舞台。
