I [[England]] holdt man en [[jamboree]] i Wembley for spejdere fra det britiske imperie. Den fandt sted [[1. august|1.]] - [[8. august]] [[1924]] og lå i forbindelse med det britiske imperies udstilling, der blev afholdt 1924-1925 for at fremme handelen med de 58 kolonilande<ref>https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/British_Empire_Exhibition</ref>.

Det var til dato den største spejderlejr, og den sikrede en bred international repræsentation på [[2. verdensjamboree|jamboreen]] i [[Danmark]] ugen efter, da de mange udlændinge alligevel var 'i nærheden'. | |||

Prinsen af Wales (tronfølgeren, den senere engelske konge [[Edward 8.]]) overværede en del af opvisningerne, deltog ved et lejrbål og overnattede faktisk i telt en nat i lejren. På andre tidspunkter blev lejren og opvisningerne besøgt af bl.a. the Duke of York (den senere engelske konge George 6., Dronning Elisabeths far) og forfatteren [[Rudyard Kipling]], der på ulveungernes dag fik set optrin fra [[Junglebogen]] og hvordan bogens univers bidrog til at gøre ulveungernes arbejde spændende og interessant. | |||
Although the Wembley Jamboree had a smattering of foreign Scout visitors, it was not a part of the world Scout history.

Doubts were expressed beforehand as to whether it would be possible for the Danish Scouts to make a success of the undertaking. The main host was | |||

Christian Holm, President of Det Danske Spejderkorps, whose daughter became known as ‘Kim’, Friend of all the World. The three Scouters responsible for the preparation, organisation and administration had barely come to full manhood, but they made a brilliant success of a World Jamboree, through its atmosphere, friendliness and spirit. It could be characterised as a World Scout Party enjoyed by all. Ove Holm was the Organising Secretary and Administrator, Jens Hvass the Camp Chief, and Tage Carstensen in charge of all international aspects. | Christian Holm, President of Det Danske Spejderkorps, whose daughter became known as ‘Kim’, Friend of all the World.
