I'm going to start a new jamboree page, specefically for the 2005 National Scout Jamboree, which will have all the statistics, events that occured etc. I'm also trying to see if the use of scans of patches would be cosidred fair use copyright. If it is, I may start a 2005 national Jamboree patch article. -- Beefybot 22:04, 16 December 2005 (UTC)
I just wrote the 2005 article. I put the list of subcamps in that article, do you think they need to be in this article also? -- Beefybot 23:38, 16 December 2005 (UTC)
I wouldn't put the subcamp names in the main Jambo article as they change every Jamboree. Splamo 17:12, 26 March 2006 (UTC)
I should point out that National Scout Jamborees exist in other countries. Shouldn't the name of this article really be something like "United States National Scout Jamboree" while National Scout Jamboree is a redirect to other national Scout Jamborees-- Erp 20:17, 20 June 2006 (UTC)
This article is about the BSA event called the "National Jamboree" "national Scout jamboree". United States in the title implies it is some sort of pan-US event. Thus, the article should be titled "National Scout jamboree (Boy Scouts of America)" --

Again, see the official BSA definition and useage of jamboree below. I don't think the jamboree police will slam anyone for having a council jamboree. I've never seen one at that level though- it's always been a camporee or some custom name (we use Scouting Adventures for the annual Webelos-Boy Scout camporee, and we've used Draftaree for a mini-camporee of just the units from our community. -- Gadget850 ( Ed) 02:07, 8 July 2006 (UTC)

Recommend that the Funding controversy section be merged into Boy Scouts of America membership controversies#Access to governmental resources. Much of the content is duplicated, and this is taking up a large chunk of the article. -- Gadget850 ( Ed) 14:35, 16 July 2006 (UTC)
If someone runs across a panoramic photo showing thousands of Scouts at a Jamboree, it would look good in this article. -- Jagz 17:43, 7 August 2006 (UTC)
The sentence, "The idea of holding the event on a regular basis did not take root at first with the next jamboree held in Valley Forge, Pennsylvania in 1950.", is inadequate. It references the "next" jamboree without giving any information on when the first jamboree was. -- Jagz 18:47, 28 October 2006 (UTC)

Two articles on individual jamborees are 2005 National Scout Jamboree and 1993 National Scout Jamboree. Shouldn't these be renamed to 2005 National Scout Jamboree (Boy Scouts of America) and 1993 National Scout Jamboree (Boy Scouts of America)? Other countries have National jamborees. -- Bduke ( talk) 05:48, 3 February 2008 (UTC)

I attended the 1973 Jamboree at Moraine State Park, and although it's been a long time and my memory is fading, I'm sure that our entire troop was invited (perhaps with a limitation on the number of people). It was not the case that we had to individually petition the local council, nor that we were grouped into special "jamboree troops". Our troop and its patrols retained their identities throughout the jamboree. So evidently this new way of choosing participants is a more recent thing, it would be helpful to say when it started, if you can find that out. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 135.207.175.136 ( talk) 16:33, 27 March 2009 (UTC)
