Sub-camps & Site Assignments

The sub-camps and site numbers where you will live during the 19th Nippon Scout Jamboree have been decided. At this jamboree, contingents will live in the following four sub-camps.

Using the published site-assignment list and layout maps, you can check which sub-camp and site number your contingent has been assigned. Take a look at the friends who will share your sub-camp and the contingents on nearby sites, too. We hope you will start picturing life on site little by little, even before the jamboree begins.

About detailed guidance

How to enter your site, how to carry your gear, points to note when pitching camp, and the facilities and living rules within each sub-camp will be explained at the pre-event online leaders’ meeting held for each sub-camp. Dates and how to join will be announced separately to each contingent leader.

Please note
  • The layout maps are simplified so that the relative positions of the sites are easy to understand.
  • Terrain, vegetation, roads, facilities, and so on may differ in part from the actual site.
  • Site positions or usable areas may change due to construction, safety, or jamboree-operation reasons.
  • If any change occurs, the affected contingents will be notified again.
  • If there is any error in the prefectural council name, contingent name, sub-camp, or site number, please contact the jamboree office through your prefectural council.
  • Contingents may not swap sites with one another or change sites on their own.

Hoshizora Map

After the day's duties are done, why not take a moment to gaze up at the stars?

People long ago looked to the stars to weave stories and to find their way across the night seas. Take this jamboree as a chance to turn your own eyes to the night sky.

This page introduces the stars that shine over Jinsekikogen Town — before, during, and after the jamboree period. There is even a chance to catch a meteor shower during 19NSJ.

We hope you enjoy it.

Each chart shows the night sky over Jinsekikogen Town at around 9:00 p.m. Choose a date to switch to that night's sky.
