The 20th World Scout Jamboree in Thailand will be an important event full of challenging and interesting activities for Scouts coming from all over the world. The activities are especially designed to offer non-formal education opportunities to cope with the world awareness for the youth in the next Millenium. Emphasis will be made on learning through activities which will enable young Scouts to gain, in particular, physical skills, scientific initiation and latest information technology, to be well aware of environment education, community development and to have an opportunity to a dialogue of culture.

Scouts will have an opportunity to learn about Thai culture and traditions. The exhibition of arts and cultures of the host nation and other Asian and Pacific countries will be on display during the period of the World Jamboree.

The Jamboree site is surrounded by many beautiful mountains and lakes as well as sandy beaches and a crystal clear sea. Water sports will be a main feature.
