The 23rd World Scout Jamboree (Japanese: 第23回世界スカウトジャンボリー, Hepburn: dai-nijūsan-kai sekai sukauto jamborii) took place in Kirarahama, Yamaguchi in western Japan from 28 July to 8 August 2015. The event was attended by 33,628 Scouts and leaders (including 7,979 International Service Team (IST) members who served as volunteer staff). The theme was 和 Wa: A Spirit of Unity. The kanji 和, meaning harmony, unity or togetherness, was part of the theme. Wa is also an early name for Japan. The Jamboree site is a flat land with an area of 2.8 km north to south by 1 km east to west. There is a natural park on the site, where wildlife living on Kirarahama is preserved. Millions of wild birds visit Kirarahama every year. In addition, the site is equipped with water supply and sewage systems, as well as a sports dome and a swimming pool that were used for programs. Especially for the 23rd WSJ, two supermarkets, a hospital and an arena were temporarily erected. Access to the site is easy by airplanes and Shinkansen bullet trains. More information...
