The Baltic Jamboree is a Scouting jamboree for Scouts of the Baltic states. The hosting of the Baltic Jamboree rotates between the Estonian Scout Association, Latvijas Skautu un Gaidu Centrālā Organizācija and Lietuvos Skautija, members of the World Organization of the Scout Movement.
History Cooperation between the Scout associations of the Baltic states dates back to the 1930s until the occupation of the Baltic states by the Soviet Union in 1940, which resulted in Scouting being banned. With the fall of communism in the 1990s, Scouting reemerged in Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania and cooperation restarted. In 2005, The Scout and Guide organizations of the Baltic states agreed to strengthen their cooperation by hosting a Baltic Jamboree.
