The European Scout Jamboree (or EuroJam) is an international Scouting jamboree, which is organized at irregular times by the European Scout Region of the World Organization of the Scout Movement (WOSM).
So far, two European Scout Jamborees have been held as a dress rehearsal for the World Scout Jamborees to be held one or two years later at the same site, each with about 10,000 participants:
- EuroJam 1994 in Biddinghuizen, Dronten municipality, Flevoland, Netherlands
- EuroJam 2005 in Hylands Park, Chelmsford, England
Other EuroJams
Other international Scout associations have also organized events under the name Eurojam, but generally have fewer participants. These agencies include the Confédération Européenne de Scoutisme (CES) and the Union Internationale des Guides et Scouts d'Europe (UIGSE).
UIGSE EuroJams
The EuroJams organized by the UIGSE are:
- EuroJam 1984 in Velles, Indre, France with 5000 participants
- EuroJam 1994 in Viterbo, Italy; Pope John Paul II received 7500 scouts in the Basilica of St. Peter in Rome
- EuroJam 2003 on August 11, 2003 in Żelazko, Poland, with 8000 youths from fifteen European countries
