The Australian Scout Jamboree is a jamboree which used to be held every three years but is now held every four (like World Scout Jamborees) by Scouts Australia. The Jamboree is traditionally held in early January and typically runs for ten nights.
The first, in 1934, was held in Frankston, Victoria, and was attended by the World Chief Scout, Robert Baden-Powell. The Frankston district still uses the original Jamboree logo as its district emblem. Jamborees have been held regularly since 1934, except for 1942 and 1945, due to World War 2, and in 2022, due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
