To commemorate the tenth anniversary of the Jamboree, a statue by sculpture Lőrinc Siklódi of a Boy Scout was erected on October 17, 1943 across from the Guard Barracks in Royal Forest of Gödöllő, Hungary. After the Red army occupied the country the original statue by sculptor Lőrinc Siklódi was removed during 1948 when the Iron Curtain fell and the government moved to suppress Scouting. In 1994, after democracy and Scouting was reestablished in Hungary, the community around Gödöllő moved to locate and re-erect the statue.
After a long search, the original statue could not be found, and a committee was established with the purpose of erecting a new statue. They decided to enlarge Zsigmond Kisfaludi Strobl's 50 inches (130 cm) statuette entitled The Boy Scout. A student of Kisfaludi Strobl, István Pál, was chosen to complete the work. The new statue of a Boy Scout standing on the original pedestal was unveiled on April 23, 1994, commemorating yet again the 1933 World Jamboree.
In 1993, to celebrate the 60th anniversary of the Fourth World Jamboree, the Hungarian Scout Association Magyar Cserkészszövetség hosted a Fourth World Jamboree Memorial Camp at Bélapátfalva, Hungary.
Teleki Pál, who served as Camp Chief at the Jamboree, is buried at Gödöllõ. He was Prime Minister of Hungary twice and a friend of Baden-Powell's.
