For 11 days, from 27 December 1998 to 6 January 1999, approximately 30,519 Scouts and leaders from nearly every Scout association in the world assembled for this 4-yearly event. http://usscouts.org/usscouts/history/jambo99.asp USSSP - History: The Nineteenth World Jamboree usscouts.org The Jamboree started with a drought, prompting water to be diverted from the City of Rancagua, with sailing activities proving difficult owing to the lack of proper water bodies on Picarquín. The Jamboree sported the third Global Development Village program and was opened by Chilean president Eduardo Frei Ruiz-Tagle. A daily newspaper, el Talí, was produced for the camp.https://25wsjnewsroom.imweb.me/73/?q=YToxOntzOjEyOiJrZXl3b3JkX3R5cGUiO3M6MzoiYWxsIjt9&bmode=view&idx=15965849&t=board 'el Talí' Issue 8 - 19th World Scout Jamboree 1998/99 : From the Archives August 6, 2023 25wsjnewsroom.imweb.me https://archive.today/20230817085340/https://25wsjnewsroom.imweb.me/73/?q=YToxOntzOjEyOiJrZXl3b3JkX3R5cGUiO3M6MzoiYWxsIjt9&bmode=view&idx=15965849&t=board 17 August 2023 live Theme The jamboree theme was "Building Peace Together".
