Agoonoree
Agoonoree is a Scouting jamboree for young people with disabilities. History In 1949, Netherlands Scouts organised an international camp at Lunteren for Scouts with disabilities called "Agoon", after the Greek language word ''agṓn'' ( ''ἀγών'') meaning a gathering or competition. Further international Agoon camps were held in Belgium in 1953 and at Gilwell Park in the United Kingdom in 1958. The success of these events prompted the establishment of "Agoonoree" (a compound word of ''Agoon'' plus ''jamboree'') camps at national or regional level in several countries.
