The 20th New Zealand Scout Jamboree (also known as NZ20 or MPWR) was held at Manfeild Park, Feilding, New Zealand between 28 December 2013 and 6 January 2014.
Location
Manfeild Park, near Feilding, was the main venue for the Jamboree. Some activities were held outside Feilding - for example, the caving base was held on a farm north of Pohangina, near Ashhurst. On the final day of activities, the full-day water-based "Water'M" activity was cancelled and the Scouts scheduled to attend were taken to the Lido Aquatic Centre in Palmerston North for the afternoon.
Attendance
The 20th New Zealand Scout Jamboree was attended by over 3,000 Scouts and Leaders from New Zealand, Australia, Samoa, the Cook Islands, Indonesia, South Korea, and several other countries.
Theme
The theme of NZ20 was 'MPWR' - the empowerment of patrols to be independent and responsible scouts at the Jamboree.
The patrol leaders were given more responsibility than at the previous Jamboree and had to manage their own timetable and their patrol without an adult leader with them.
Sub Camps
The Jamboree was split into three sub camps: MBLZN (yellow), MBRK (blue) and MBLDN (red). Each subcamp had a subcamp office that was responsible for running the subcamp.
World Record Attempt
On January 1, the Jamboree set a Guinness World Record for the most people wearing paper hats at a single venue (3054, breaking the previous record of 1155).[1]
