第十九屆世界童軍大露營

The first World Scout Jamboree ever hosted in South America

The 19th World Scout Jamboree, held from December 27, 1998, to January 6, 1999, was a historic event as the first World Scout Jamboree ever hosted in South America. The event took place at Hacienda Picarquín, a 7,400-acre site nestled in the foothills of the Andes, about 38 miles south of Santiago, Chile. With approximately 31,000 Scouts and leaders from nearly every Scouting association worldwide, this Jamboree was a vibrant celebration of global unity and Scouting spirit.

第十九屆世界童軍大露營於1998年12月27日至1999年1月6日在智利舉行，具有歷史性意義——這是世界童軍大露營首次在南美洲舉辦。活動地點位於智利首都聖地牙哥以南約38英里的皮卡昆莊園（Hacienda Picarquín），佔地約7,400英畝，坐落於安地斯山脈山麓之間。這場盛會吸引了來自全球幾乎所有童軍協會的約31,000名童軍與領袖，展現出充滿活力的全球團結與童軍精神。

The theme “Building Peace Together” was central to the Jamboree’s activities, which included the Global Development Village, where Scouts participated in workshops on science, technology, cultural expression, and environmental issues. Scouts also engaged in a variety of patrol activities, including community service in nearby villages, overnight hikes through the rugged countryside, and visits to local farms and factories. These activities were designed to foster cultural exchange, environmental awareness, and teamwork among the participants.

本屆主題為「共同建造和平」（Building Peace Together），貫穿於整個大露營的活動中。其中的「全球發展村」（Global Development Village）讓童軍們參與多樣化的工作坊，主題涵蓋科學、科技、文化表達及環境議題。除此之外，童軍們還進行了多項分隊活動，包括前往附近村莊從事社區服務、進行越野宿營健行，以及參觀當地農場與工廠。這些活動旨在促進文化交流、環境意識與團隊合作。

The Jamboree featured a unique New Year’s Eve celebration, where Scouts from different countries shared traditional foods and cultural performances, creating a festive and unforgettable atmosphere. Despite the initial challenge of drought conditions, the event was a resounding success, demonstrating the resilience and global camaraderie of the Scouting movement.

Overall, the 19th World Scout Jamboree in Chile was a remarkable experience for all involved, emphasizing peace, friendship, and international cooperation as core values of Scouting.

大露營的一大亮點是跨年夜慶祝活動，來自世界各地的童軍共享各國傳統美食與文化表演，營造出熱鬧又難忘的節慶氣氛。儘管初期面臨乾旱的挑戰，整體活動仍圓滿成功，充分展現出童軍運動的堅韌精神與全球友誼。
