第九屆世界童軍大露營

To celebrate the Jubilee of the Movement and the Centenary of its Founder B-P, a combined Jamboree, Scouters' Indaba and Rover Moot was held in Sutton Park - a beautiful natural park of 2,400 acres.

Thirty-three thousand Scouts from 90 countries camped for 12 days in weather which ranged from a heat wave to a storm whichflooded parts of the huge camp site. Many thousands more took the opportunity of camping in the surrounding countryside.

1957年為了慶祝童軍運動五十週年以及創始人貝登堡（Baden-Powell）誕辰一百週年，於英國薩頓公園（Sutton Park）舉辦了一場結合「世界童軍大露營」、「領袖聚會（Scouters’ Indaba）」與「羅浮聚會（Rover Moot）」的盛大活動。薩頓公園是一座面積達 2,400 英畝的美麗自然公園。

來自 90 個國家的 33,000 名童軍在此紮營 12 天，經歷了從熱浪到暴風雨、甚至導致營區部分地區淹水的多變天氣。此外，還有數以千計的童軍選擇在周邊鄉間露營，共同參與這場盛會。

​

Opened by H.R.H. The Duke of Gloucester, visited by Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II and the Prime Minister, Mr Harold Macmillan, and closed by the World Chief Guide Olave, Lady Baden-Powell, it was the first Jamboree held in England to have its own commemorative postage stamps.

One special aspect was the overwhelming hospitality offered to the participants by the people of the UK, both before and after the event.

大露營由格洛斯特公爵殿下（H.R.H. The Duke of Gloucester）主持開幕，並迎來了伊麗莎白二世女王陛下與首相哈洛德・麥克米倫（Mr. Harold Macmillan）的蒞臨，最後由世界女童軍總領袖奧拉夫・貝登堡夫人（Olave, Lady Baden-Powell）主持閉幕典禮。這也是首個發行紀念郵票的英國世界童軍大露營。

其中一項特別亮點，是英國民眾在活動前後對各國童軍展現出的熱情款待與殷勤接待，充分體現了童軍精神中「友誼與服務」的真諦。
