The 15th Worldjamboree planned for Iran in 1979 , was canceled due to political unbalance in that country.

Instead of moving the Worldjamboree to a "political more stable" country, the World organisation decided to proclaim the year 1979 the "World Jamboreeyear". To maintain the Jamboree spirit four "Worldjamboreecamps" were held (in Switzerland, Sweden, Canada and the United States) and also al lot of Join-in Jamboree-activities. The sign of the Join-in Jamborees represent the waves of friendship that grow again through the gatherings of Scouting.
