The 1st World Scout Jamboree was held from 30 July 1920 to 8 August 1920 and was hosted by the United Kingdom at Kensington Olympia in London.[1] 8,000 Scouts from 34 nations attended the event, which was hosted in a glass-roofed building covering an area of 6 acres (24,000 m2).
It was at this event that Baden-Powell,[2] the founder of Scouting, was acclaimed the Chief Scout of the World.[3] The organizing secretary was Major Alexander Gawthrope Wade, MC.[4][5]
Visiting diplomat Lord Robert Cecil, architect of the League of Nations noted the shared vision of the Jamboree (a "League of Youth"[6]) and the League.[7]
