The 13th Pan-American Scout Jamboree would have taken place in the Cuzco, Peru, in the vicinity of the famous architecture of Machu Picchu. The Association of Scouts of Peru sent a letter to retiring itself as the South American Jamboree host to "avoid paperwork" and "problems". Throughout the 12th Pan-American Scout Jamboree Argentina 2005 and 2006 Peru promoted the 13th Pan-American Scout Jamboree in Peru.
It was decided to postpone the 13th Pan-American Scout Jamboree to be held in Mexico during December 2009, to avoid the risks by the outbreak of H1N1 influenza at the time.
The Organizing Committee of 13th Pan-American Scout Jamboree made the decision to change the venue of the event, to be held from July 10 to 18 2010, from Alameda Park 2000, located in the City of Toluca, in the state of Mexico, to the Scout Training Camp "Meztitla" located in the town of Tepoztlan, in the state of Morelos.
This decision was made based on the following aspects, which were duly tested:
The official song for the JamPan 2010 was "Discover Your Spirit". The song was sung by Nudo, a Scout band from Mexico. After appearing in various events organized by the ASMAC, Nudo was excluded from participating in the JamPan 2010, where they were scheduled to do a presentation to the participants during the opening ceremony, without explanation involved. [2]
Originally this event was called "Pan-American Scout Jamboree", where countries of Latin America and the Caribbean were regular participants, but the Interamerican Scout Committee decided to change the name to "Interamerican Scout Jamboree" for including USA and Canada in this event, In the preview year, these countries were invited.
Usually, Scouts from 11 to 15 years of age had a special program during the Pan-American Scout Jamborees, but after the 2010 Interamerican Scout Conference, the Interamerican Scout Committee decided to separate the events and create the "JamCam". Scouts were placed in the Camporee, and Venturers in the Jamboree, both with similar programs and held in the same venue. JamCam will be the new promotional name for the Interamerican Scout Jamboree and Camporee, replacing the JamPan, which stood for "Jamboree Panamericano", Spanish for Pan-American Scout Jamboree.
The JamCam 2013 was planned to be held in "La Florida" Park, located in Bogota, Colombia. This park hosted the 3rd Pan-American Jamboree. By-law of the District Government as to the use of public space, the IDRD told the JamCam 2013 Organizing Committee in December 2012 that it was confirmed that "La Florida" Park would host the Jamboree and the Camporee, but they left the park open to the general public income. This puts at risk the logistical, administrative and security of the events.

The Interamerican Region is the divisional office of the World Scout Bureau of the World Organization of the Scout Movement, headquartered in Ciudad del Saber, Panama. The Interamerican Region services Scouting in the Western Hemisphere, both North and South America. Until the 1960s, the "Inter-American Scout Advisory Committee" serviced only Mexico, Central and South America, with Canada and the United States serviced through the then-named "Boy Scouts International Bureau" in Ottawa, Ontario, Canada. Even today, the Interamerican Region exists more for the benefit of countries south of the Rio Grande, as evidenced by the website being only in Spanish until 2011; consequently, the United States and Canada did not participate as vigorously in regional activities as do other national organizations around the world, however this is changing in the 2010s.

International Boy Scouts, Troop 1, Japan's first Boy Scout troop, was founded in 1911, with Clarence Griffin as Scoutmaster. Despite its early multinational character the troop's original registration was with the London headquarters of The Boy Scouts Association as "British Scouts in Foreign Countries". This initial charter was due to there being no international Boy Scout office and the "nationality requirement" that was in effect at the time. In 1918, the troop's character changed considerably when the new Scoutmaster, Bro. Joseph Janning, received approval from Lord Baden-Powell to officially reorganized the troop as a mixed-nationality, or "international", troop. B-P subsequently brought the Troop's situation before the 3rd World Scout Conference where the newly formed Boy Scouts International Bureau received approval to directly register Troop 1 and, in the future, other such "international" groups. The troop was then directly registered by the Boy Scouts International Bureau and was issued the Boy Scout movement's first "mixed nationality" charter, dated October 30, 1925, signed by Baden-Powell as Chief Scout and Hubert S. Martin as Director of the new International Bureau. Within a few years the nationality requirement was abolished and, even though the Bureau maintained the direct registration of Troop 1 and other groups already registered, new groups were requested to join the national organization of the country in which they were located and no new groups were chartered. Over the years the directly chartered groups one-by-one and for varied reasons slowly disbanded and by 1955 only Troop 1 remained. The troop has been continuously active, including war years, since its first meeting held in Yokohama, Japan on October 16, 1911, and currently consists of coed sections of Beaver Scouts, Cub Scouts, Scouts, Senior Scouts, and Veteran Scouts.
