The World Scout Jamboree (Jamboree Mondial in French) is a gathering of Scouts (ages 14_17) from all over the world. Jamborees are held every four years and are organized by the World Organization of the Scout Movement (WOSM). The World Scout Moot is a similar event, also organized by the WOSM, for Scouts aged 18-30.
During any given year there are up to 10 Jamborees (or smaller Jamborettes) somewhere in the world. Regional Jamborees occur every three years, such as Asia Pacific or Pan African Jamborees.
Two other worldwide Scouting events occur every year: the simultaneous World Scout Jamboree On The Air (JOTA) and the World Scout Jamboree On The Internet (JOTI). Recently, the Jamboree on the Trail (JOTT) has been founded as an international day of hiking.
Scouts Canada is a Scout association and member of the World Organization of the Scout Movement, in affiliation with the French-language Association des Scouts du Canada.
Scouting was carried on as part of The Boy Scouts Association Overseas Department until The Canadian General Council of the Boy Scout Association was incorporated by an Act of the Canadian Parliament on June 12, 1914.
Scouts Canada challenged the association and successfully argued that the word "Scout", in the context of a youth organization, is a trademark held by Scouts Canada.
