第八屆世界童軍大露營

This was the first World Scout Jamboree to be held outside Europe. The setting was beautiful rolling parkland, at Niagara-on-the-Lake, Canada.

這是第一次在歐洲以外舉辦的世界童軍大露營。活動地點選在加拿大尼亞加拉湖畔（Niagara-on-the-Lake）一片風景優美、起伏柔和的公園草地上。

​

11,000 Scouts attended this great gathering which was notable for the number of contingents which crossed the Atlantic by air to attend – 1,000 from the United Kingdom alone. The most outstanding feature, however, was the tremendous hospitality accorded to the Scouts by the people of Canada. Not only did they raise money to help Scouts from the “soft currency” areas, but they welcomed them and lavished friendship and understanding wherever they met.

共有 11,000 名童軍參加這場盛會，其中值得一提的是，有相當多的代表團首次以航空方式橫越大西洋前來參加——僅英國就有 1,000 名童軍搭乘飛機前往。

然而，本次大露營最令人印象深刻的，莫過於加拿大人民所展現的熱情款待。他們不僅籌募資金，資助來自「弱勢貨幣地區」的童軍前來參與，更在各地以誠摯的友誼與理解迎接每一位到訪的童軍，讓整個活動洋溢著溫暖與團結的精神。
