The 10-day event which has been running in Australia since 1934 and is designed to create a space where young people can build leadership skills through responsible risk-taking, but how are the scouts trying to keep relevant in a modern world?
We spoke to one of the scout leaders from the jamboree, Ben Cherry-Smith.
