Jamboree 2008 (Ireland) - Past Jamborees

Past Jamborees

Although Jamboree 2008 was Scouting Ireland's first, the organisation is not completely without experience, since Scouting Ireland S.A.I. and Scouting Ireland (CSI), as members of the Federation of Irish Scouts Associations, co-organised four jamborees:

• Co. Waterford|Woodstock '78
• Co. Tyrone|LakeLands '82
• Portumna '85
• Gosford '89
• Ballyfin '93
• Lough Dan '97

These were organised in conjunction with Scout Association of Northern Ireland (SANI), with each association scheduled to take the lead role every third Jamboree. SANI were due to organise Causeway 2001, a jamboree at the Giant's Causeway in Northern Ireland. However, due to restrictions in place to counteract the spread of foot-and-mouth disease, these plans were abandoned.
