7th World Scout Jamboree
The 7th World Scout Jamboree (German: 7. Weltpfadfindertreffen) was held August 3 to 12, 1951 and was hosted by Austria at Bad Ischl in Upper Austria. The attendance was 12,884 from 61 different parts of the world, with 675 German Scouts given a warm welcome as official participants in a World Jamboree for the first time. The Austrian contingent was slightly outnumbered by the Commonwealth contingent, and had reduced the minimum age for their attendees from 14, the normal Jamboree age, to 13, since the revived organization had only been in existence for five years. The 7th World Scout Jamboree was also the last Jamboree for which Austria were the host country.
