2. Theme and Concepts
(1)Theme “Wa： a Spirit of Unity”
The theme of the 23rd World Scout Jamboree (23WSJ) is “Wa: a Spirit of Unity”. The
Kanji character “和” (wa) indicates a wide variety of meanings such as unity, harmony,
cooperation, friendship, and peace. Moreover, it encapsulates the essence of Japan,
a country where tradition and the latest technology coexist in harmony. Inspired by this
theme, it is our earnest desire that 23WSJ will contribute to peace and harmony among
youth and create a better world.
Key elements of the theme; “Japan”, “Friendship” and “Peace” are designed to occur
in all aspects of 23WSJ.
(2)Concepts
Energy:
The energy which Scouts from all over the world will bring to the Jamboree and the
dynamism of the Scout Movement that strengthen its mission and ideals.
23WSJ Programme Outline 1
Outline of the Jamboree
Innovation:
Having new experiences at the Jamboree, learning about different cultures and
traditions, and fostering critical thinking skills will lead to personal growth.
Harmony:
Scouts who come from different cultural, religious, and family backgrounds will come
together to share their individual experiences while fostering unity with one another.
This key word expresses peace and harmony in relation to the Scouts.
3. The Jamboree Logo
The Jamboree logo is created based on the traditional Japanese Mizuhiki
knot. The impressive and decorative string and knot represent the energy,
new experiences and meetings at the jamboree and the unity of the
Scouts gathered from all over the world. The three colours represent the
jamboree concepts: Energy, Innovation and Harmony.
The Mizuhiki knot is made of Japanese paper, used as a gift for occasions
such as weddings and childbirth. It is said that the motion of the knot
represents the bond between people. The logo hopes to create the bond
between the Scouts gathered from all over the world. On the lower right
side of the logo, the Kanji character “和” (WA) illustrates the meaning of
the Mizuhiki.
In addition, on the right of the logo, the Jamboree title is indicated in
English and French, and as Jamboree is an official event of the World
Organization of the Scout Movements (WOSM), the World Scout emblem
is featured.

The Jamboree Programme
1. The Jamboree Programme
The 23rd World Scout Jamboree will offer a wide choice of attractive programmes. Through
these programmes, Scouts will be able to experience the distinctive attributes of each
participating country and territory. This experience will enable Scouts to develop physically,
intellectually, emotionally, socially, and spiritually in the spirit of the Scout Movement as they
advance toward their ultimate goal of “Creating a Better World.”
The Jamboree Programme, running from the Opening Ceremony on the evening of the 29th of
July 2015 until the Closing Ceremony on the evening of the 7th of August, will consist of Module
Activities and Sub Camp Life. It will be a great opportunity for Scouts to make friends with their
counterparts from all over the world. The theme of “Wa: a Spirit of Unity” and the three
concepts, “Energy”, “Innovation” and “Harmony”, associated with the Jamboree programme
reflect specific educational objectives.
2. Educational Objectives
By the end of the event, participants will:
Learn how energetic and motivated Scouts acting as “Active Citizens” can change the
world into a better place
Cultivate life skills that lead to the creation of new and innovative ways to address global
issues, such as through the use of cutting-edge technology
Experience cultural diversity
Foster unity among Scouts regardless of ethnic or religious backgrounds, and highlight the
importance of cooperation in the creation of a better world

The Jamboree Programme 4. Module Activities The Jamboree will include 3 On-site Module Activities (Global Development Village, Culture and Science) and 3 Off-site Module Activities (Nature, Community and Peace). In addition, Water Module Activities will be carried out both On-site and Off-site. The venues will be allocated by each Sub Camp. During the jamboree, you will have the opportunity to see the connection between many of the Jamboree activities and the World Scout Programmes (the Scouts of the World Award Programme, World Scout Environment Programme and Messengers of Peace Programme) Each Module Activity occupies either one day or half a day. Each Sub Camp has a schedule so that all Scouts will have the opportunity to participate in all the Module Activities by the end of the Jamboree. Also, each Sub Camp will have equal opportunities to travel by bus three times. Furthermore, if your Sub Camp walks to take part in the Water Module Activities On-site, such as at Tsuki-no-Umi, the beach at the Jamboree site, you will reach the Off-site Nature Module Activity by bus, and vice versa. In addition, whenever there is no Module Activity on the schedule, Scouts will take part in Free Time Activities. There will be a wide choice of Free Time Activities. GDV Culture Science Community Nature Water Peace 1/2 day 1/2 day 1 day 1 day 1 day 1 day 1 day 5. Modules Timetable of Sub Camps The duration of Module Activities at each Sub Camp will be a day or a half- day as shown in the following form. It will be held from July 30th to August 6th. Around August 7th, all Scouts will have a choice to join any of the three On-site programmes: GDV, Culture, and Science. If Scouts have missed any On-site programmes due to sickness during the Jamboree period, then on this day, they will be given the opportunity to participate. Also, the shaded Modules in the module schedule indicate programmes that require bus travel. As mentioned in the above, all the programmes that require bus travel have been scheduled 3 times. For example, Akagi Sub Camp members walk to the Nature programme and ride the bus to the Water programme. Dashes “ – “ in the form indicate Scout’s free time to pursue their own interests. Various activities are available to the Scouts, such as visiting the Faith & Beliefs zone, and the World Scout Centre. Each National Scout Organization’s representative attending the Hiroshima Peace Memorial Ceremony & Nagasaki Peace Forum will leave from the Jamboree site on the 5th of August and come back on the 6th. For that reason, those attendees will not be able to join the Module Activities for each Sub Camp on those dates. 23WSJ Programme Outline 5

23WSJ Programme Outline 11Sub Camp Life
Sub Camp Life
Scouts will spend the majority of their time during the Jamboree in Sub Camps with other Scouts
from their Patrol and Unit. It is at their Sub Camps that Scouts will cook and eat their daily meals
and sleep in tents. The Sub Camp will also serve as a home where Scouts can reflect on what
happened that day and share their thoughts and feelings about the next day’s activities.
1. Sub Camp
There will be 12 Sub Camps at 23WSJ. Each Sub Camp will consist of 50 Units. A Unit will consist
of 4 patrols, each consisting of 9 Scouts and one Unit Leader. Therefore, a Unit will consist of 40
members and a Sub Camp will consist of 2,000 Scouts and Unit Leaders. 4 Sub Camps will form
a Hub, and there will be 3 Hubs at the Jamboree. Each Unit will be allocated an area within the
Sub Camp. This area will serve for many purposes: for pitching sleeping tents and tarp tents, for
holding meetings, for cooking, for hanging up laundry to dry, etc. Working together to lay out
the area where Scouts will live can foster a greater understanding of the Scouting ideals.
All Hubs including the IST sub camp are named after the geography of the Jamboree site itself.
Northern hub, Eastern hub, Western Hub and Southern hub. Sub Camp names are also named
after the famous mountains in Japan. The following logos are the logos for each Sub Camp.
Their name and image are represented by a Japanese mountain.

Sub Camp Life 3. Daily life during the Jamboree During the Jamboree, Scouts will camp for many days. For a lot of the Scouts, it will be their first experience of such a long camp. In these circumstances, some Scouts may find it difficult to get enough sleep since there are so many activities to take part in at the Jamboree. To get the most out of the Jamboree, it will be important to ensure that Scouts get sufficient sleep. In addition, Scouts need to eat three nutritious meals a day so that they have plenty of energy to engage in the challenging activities each day and can adjust to the unfamiliar environment. They also need to drink plenty of water and establish a routine. It would be a good idea to consider the Jamboree as an opportunity to overcome the challenges related to camping. The cooking of meals at the Jamboree will also be an opportunity to foster leadership, stimulate cooperation, and for each person to achieve an understanding of his or her role within the patrol. Since cooking involves a number of different tasks, cooperation is the key to success. Each patrol can tackle its own recipes within the scope of the ingredients. Remember, there is much more to cooking than just preparing food. For Scouts, it is also a great opportunity for personal growth. Participants are required to use a portable gas stove for cooking. For information on how to use the stove, please refer to the fire-protection guidelines. 4. Sub Camp Programme In the Sub Camp area, Scouts can take part in various enjoyable activities during their free time. (1) Performance Scouts can put on small performances, ideally on a theme related to their culture, on the stages placed in the Hubs. Each stage will be equipped with a sound system. The usage of the Hub stage will be allocated to each Sub Camp night by night. As there are 50 Units in a Sub Camp, each performance should last no more than about 5 minutes. Preparing and sharing simple games or activities that represent your country’s culture and/or Scouting will add greater variety to the programme. Simple, easy-to-understand activities that appeal to many Scouts would be ideal. The activities can be presented at each Unit’s site, or using additional space at the Sub Camp or Hub for bigger activities. (2) Camp fire There will be 2 spaces for a camp fire for 2 to 3 Units during the Jamboree at each Sub Camp. As we are Scouts, a camp fire is one of the best ways to build a good relationship among Scouts by exchanging performances and games. Camp Fire facilities will be available to book in advance at Sub Camp during the Jamboree, so that Scouts or Unit leaders can choose. (3) Kite Flying Scouts can experience the Japanese traditional game; Tako age (Kite Flying) at the Sub Camp area. Kites will be available at the Sub Camp Headquarters. In addition, Scouts can try Kite flying at the arena during the Jamboree except Opening/ Closing ceremony, Arena Show and its rehearsal day. 14 23WSJ Programme Outline
Sub Camp Life
(4) Food Festival
Food Festival will be held at lunch time on cultural exchange day, 2nd of August. Basic
ingredients such as rice, potato, carrot, onion and so on will be distributed in addition to the
simple lunch ingredients. Scouts will cook their own traditional dishes by using the basic
ingredients, so Scouts from other countries can taste and experience the food and cultural
differences among countries. 1 or 2 patrols from the Unit will cook the dishes at their Unit site
and the rest of the patrols will walk around the Sub Camp tasting food at first, and then
exchanging the role between patrols after a while.
(5) Scout Soccer World Cup
Scout Soccer World Cup is the tournament game of football (Soccer) which will encourage
Scouts to deepen their friendship and compete through teamwork. There is an artificial grass
ground for Rugby and Soccer. Scout Soccer World Cup will be held at this wonderful facility
during the Jamboree. A patrol may contain different numbers of participants, 5 or 6 Scouts will
be a team and play soccer by changing players. Patrols can apply to participate at the Sub
Camp and play Soccer on designed date to each Sub Camp.
(6) A bamboo sun shade Contest
To share ideas and scout skills, bamboo Sun shade Contest will be held at Sub Camps. During
the Jamboree, Scouts will make a special Sun shade by using bamboo, and it will be displayed
and used at their unit site. The bamboo sun shade will be a space to have a chat with other
Scouts, and it will be good opportunity to learn about the uses of various knots.
(7) Exchange badges
Exchanging badges is one of the fun activities in Scouting, and we know the World Scout
Jamboree is always the first opportunity for Scouts to enjoy exchanging badges among Scouts
from all over the world. To make exchanging badges safer for Scouts, we have set the following
rules.
- Exchange not only badges, but also friendship
- Exchange badges only with Scouts if you are Scout.
- Exchange badges only with Adults if you are an adult such as IST and Unit leader.
- Exchange badges on a fair basis of size, quantity and value.
(8) Scout Parade
Scout Parade will be held from 19:00 on 6th of August. Parade will start from the main gate in
the central street to the special stage at the main parking area through the Jamboree Avenue.
At the end of this Parade, Yagura which is the Japanese traditional festival stage will be built
and Scouts can experience the Japanese traditional dance. In addition, yosakoi dance
contest will be held around this Yagura.
One group from each Sub Camp will participate in this Parade. The representative group will
be selected by Sub Camp staff in consideration of performances at the Hub stages.
(9) Wide Game
Wide game is designed to make a new international group to participate in the Closing
ceremony in the afternoon of 7th August. Wide game is a game to make a group by collecting
letters of one specific word which will be given to each Scout. Materials of this game will be
distributed at Sub Camp on the 7th.
23WSJ Programme Outline 15Onsite Programme
Onsite Programme
On-site Programme consists of 4 module programmes including Global Development Village,
Culture, Science and Water, Faith and Beliefs Zone and Free Time Activity. Programmes run
from 9am to noon for the morning session, and 2pm to 5pm for the afternoon session. GDV and
Culture modules are half day modules and Science is a one day long module. Faith & Beliefs
zone and other activities are available anytime when the Modules are not allocated.
Programme Modules
Global Development Village (GDV)
1. Outline
Through GDV module activities, Scouts will learn about what they can do in their daily lives to
help tackle various global issues. They will deepen their understanding of Human Rights, Global
Warming, and Hunger from five perspectives; Peace, Environment & Sustainability, Human
Rights, Health and Poverty. They will also learn about what the United Nations and NGOs are
doing around the world to deal with these issues. Actions taken by the 30,000 participants will
help raise the consciousness of over 32 million Scouts in 162 Countries and territories. Sharing
ideas among Scouts worldwide on how to create a better world will trigger “Innovation”, which
will help resolve global issues. Ultimately, this will contribute to global peace and thus embody
the theme of “WA: a Spirit of Unity”.
2. Educational Objectives
Each programme is designed to encourage Scouts to achieve the following.
Learn about global issues from five perspectives: peace, environment and sustainability,
human rights, health and poverty
Acknowledge that our world consists of small communities in which we all live
Learn that small actions have a cumulative effect that can leave a large impact on
society
Encourage Scouts to become active and remain active in their homes and
communities after the Jamboree

Culture Module
1. Outline
Our world is a rich and varied kaleidoscope of cultures. Think about clothing, to take one
example. In Japan we have the kimono. But when we look around the world, we see the
Korean chima jeogori, the Mongolian deel, the Fijian sulu, the Tahitian pareo, the Chilean
poncho, the Scottish kilt, and the German lederhosen, to name but a few of the national
costumes that brighten up our planet. Each culture is distinct and unique. By experiencing and
welcoming different cultures, we can cultivate an appreciation of others, learn from one
another, and extend the hand of friendship. Scouts are encouraged to prepare presentations
about their countries and cultures so that they can share their unique experience and traditions
with fellow Scouts. This will be a great opportunity to learn more about one’s own country and
culture through the process of explaining and sharing with others. Through intercultural
exchanges, Scouts will deepen mutual understanding and achieve “Harmony” transcending
national and cultural differences.
As 23WSJ takes place in Japan, a country that is a fusion of Western and Eastern cultural
influences, Scouts will have opportunities to gain insights into the Japanese culture of “Wa”.
They will learn about traditional arts as well as aspects of contemporary culture, or Cool Japan,
such as anime.
2. Educational Objectives;
Experience cultural diversity by learning about the history of different cultures from
around the world
Recognize the importance of understanding and respecting cultural differences
Appreciate the mutual influence of cultures
Deepen their understanding of their own cultures, and recognize the importance of
inheriting that culture

Faith and Beliefs
1. Outline
The Faith and Belief (FAB) Zone is an area where Scouts can practice their own Faith in acts
of worship and learn about the main religions of the World and "explore the invisible". The
atmosphere is conducive to achieving peace of mind and self-awareness, and Scouts can
reflect on their experiences at the Jamboree. Each Religion will have an area where Scouts
can learn about what the followers of that Religion believe in and also take part in activities
that will give them a better insight into that Faith. By learning about the Faiths of others and
their religious practices, Scouts will gain a better insight into the fact that conflicts in the
World that have a Religious connection, are caused by religious intolerance and that by
celebrating our similarities, we can develop a broader, more illuminating perspective on
such issues. Scouts will deepen their understanding of the relations between different Faiths
through Religious dialogue. They will reaffirm their role as Messengers of Peace, cultivating
durable friendships among Scouts from different backgrounds and thus work towards
harmony.
