第十八屆世界童軍大露營
The theme of the Jamboree, “Future is Now,” emphasized the importance of global unity and forward-thinking within the Scouting movement.
The 18th World Scout Jamboree took place from August 1 to 11, 1995, in the Netherlands, specifically on a polder near Dronten in Flevoland. This event was monumental in Scouting history, drawing nearly 29,000 Scouts and staff members from 166 countries, making it one of the most internationally diverse Jamborees ever. The theme of the Jamboree, “Future is Now,” emphasized the importance of global unity and forward-thinking within the Scouting movement.
第十八屆世界童軍大露營於1995年8月1日至11日在荷蘭舉行，地點位於弗萊福蘭省（Flevoland）德隆滕（Dronten）附近的一片圩田上。這場盛會在童軍歷史上具有里程碑意義，吸引了來自166個國家的將近29,000名童軍與工作人員，成為歷屆最具國際多樣性的大露營之一。其主題「未來即現在」（Future is Now）強調全球團結與前瞻思維的重要性，展現童軍運動面向未來的精神。
The event was officially opened by Queen Beatrix of the Netherlands, with her husband, Prince Claus, in attendance. Other notable visitors included King Carl XVI Gustaf of Sweden and Princess Basma bint Talal of Jordan. A key highlight was the Global Development Village, where Scouts engaged in discussions and activities focused on global issues, promoting cultural exchange and understanding.
大露營由荷蘭女王碧雅翠絲（Queen Beatrix）親自主持開幕儀式，王夫克勞斯親王（Prince Claus）亦出席。其他重要貴賓包括瑞典國王卡爾十六世‧古斯塔夫（King Carl XVI Gustaf）與約旦的巴絲瑪‧賓特‧塔拉爾公主（Princess Basma bint Talal）。活動的一大亮點是「全球發展村」（Global Development Village），童軍們在此參與各種討論與活動，聚焦全球性議題，促進文化交流與理解。
The Jamboree also featured a wide range of activities, such as the Jamboree Friendship Award, an interreligious ceremony on violence and peace, and a live satellite connection with Boutros Boutros-Ghali, then Secretary-General of the United Nations, to mark the 50th anniversary of the UN. These activities underscored the event’s commitment to fostering a sense of global citizenship among the participants.
In addition, the Jamboree was a platform for significant international collaborations, such as the formation of the Community of Lusophone Scouting, which included Scout organizations from Portuguese-speaking countries.
此外，大露營還舉辦了多項富有意義的活動，包括「童軍友誼獎」（Jamboree Friendship Award）、「宗教間的和平與非暴力儀式」，以及與當時聯合國秘書長布特羅斯‧布特羅斯‧加里（Boutros Boutros-Ghali）的衛星直播連線，以慶祝聯合國成立五十週年。這些活動突顯出本屆大露營致力於培養童軍的全球公民意識與責任感。
同時，大露營也成為國際合作的重要平台，例如葡語系國家童軍共同體（Community of Lusophone Scouting）的成立，促進了葡萄牙語系國家的童軍組織之間的連結與合作。
