The 15th World Scout Jamboree was held in 1983 and was hosted by Canada at Kananaskis, Alberta, an area of Provincial Park 4,000 feet in the foothills of the Rocky Mountains, 80 miles west of Calgary, Alberta. The Spirit Lives On was the theme of the jamboree,[2] with a total attendance of over 15,000 Scouts from over 100 countries.[1]
The name of the Jamboree refers to the idea that Scouting, and its spirit of international brotherhood, could overcome difficulties such as those which caused the cancellation of the 1979 Jamboree four years earlier.[citation needed]
The subcamps were named after Canadian animals.[3]
A camp newspaper, "The Kanaskis Journal" was produced.[4]
