    The 1985
    National Scout Jamboree
    was held at Fort A.P. Hill, Virginia, from July 24 to July 30 with the theme “The Spirit Lives On”. 32,615 Scouts participated in the Jamboree.
    The opening arena show used the theme of "75
    th
    Anniversary Celebration" and depicted the first 75 years of the Boy Scouts of America. The theme of the closing show was "America Salutes the Boy Scouts of America", and the popular Beach Boys band performed along with a visit by the First Lady.
    The
    National Scout jamboree
    is a gathering, or
    jamboree
    , of thousands of members of the
    Boy Scouts of America
    , usually held every four years and organized by the National Council of the Boy Scouts of America. Referred to as "the Jamboree", "Jambo", or NSJ, Scouts from all over the nation and world have the opportunity to attend. They are considered to be one of several unique experiences that the Boy Scouts of America offers. The first jamboree was scheduled to be held in 1935 in Washington, D.C. to celebrate the 25th anniversary of Scouting, but was delayed two years after being cancelled due to a
    polio
    outbreak. The 1937 jamboree in Washington attracted 25,000 Scouts, who camped around the
    Washington Monument
    and
    Tidal Basin
    .

    The event was covered extensively by national media and attended by President

    Following the disruption of World War II, the next jamboree was not held until 1950 in
    Valley Forge
    ,
    Pennsylvania
    .

    Subsequent jamborees have been held around the country as a means to promoting Scouting nationally. From 1981 to 2010, the jamboree was located in
    Fort A.P. Hill
    ,
    Virginia
    . Since 2013, jamborees are permanently held at

    A jamboree is held for approximately a week and a half and offers many activities for youth participants and the 300,000 members of the general public who visit it. Staff members generally arrive several days in advance, and depart several days after participants leave, depending on their assignments. Subcamp staff stay in the subcamps with the troops, while other staff stay in the staff camp.
