An archway with carvings created by a Māori carver, presented to Gilwell Park by the New Zealand contingent of the 1947 6th World Scout Jamboree (France) and who stayed at Gilwell on their way to France. The first World Scout Jamboree took place in Olympia, London in 1920, and was held indoors. Very different from todays’ Jamborees. The first Jamboree allowed visitors to see how Scouting was done in other parts of the world.

Scouts from all over the world attend World Scout Jamborees. In 1957 the UK hosted the 9th World Scout Jamboree to mark 50 years of Scouting and the Centenary of its Founder. In 2007, the UK again hosted the World Scout Jamboree, marking the Centenary of Scouting, it was held at Hylands Park, Chelmsford.
