23rd World Scout Jamboree
- 23rd World Scout Jamboree
The 23rd World Scout Jamboree will take place at Kirara Beach, Yamaguchi, Japan in 2015. The theme will be "和 Wa: A Spirit of Unity". The kanji 和, meaning harmony, unity or togetherness, is also a part of the theme.
Japan and Singapore both bid to host.
The Jamboree site is a flat land with an area of 2.8 km north to south by 1 km east to west. There is a natural park on the site, where wildlife living on Kirara Beach is preserved. Millions of wild birds visit Kirara Beach every year. In addition, the Jamboree site is equipped with water supply and sewage systems, as well as a sports dome that can be used for programs. The holding of a Jamboree will create a minimum of environmental and economic burden. Access to the site is easy by high-speed transportation systems such as airplanes and Shinkansen bullet trains.
The site is located 30 minutes from Shin-Yamaguchi Station on the JR Shinkansen line, which is capable of carrying a large number of passengers. Within a 2-hour radius of the site, four international airports serve, out of which, Fukuoka International Airport and Kansai International Airport are located west and east of the site.
