第23届世界童子军大露营于2015年7月28日至8月8日在日本举行，来自162个国家的33，000多名童子军参加。在参与者中调查了侵袭性脑膜炎球菌病荚膜群W的爆发，在苏格兰发现了4例确诊病例，他们都与一个特定的侦察单位有关，在瑞典发现了2例确诊病例;分子检测显示，在这两个国家引起疾病的菌株相同。该报告叙述了为防止进一步病例而采取的公共卫生行动，以及就在这两个国家提供化学预防的范围作出的不同决定;在苏格兰，向四个病例所属的40名参与者单位和病例的其他密切接触者提供了化学预防，而在瑞典，向所有从大露营返回的人提供了化学预防。报告还介绍了及时调查和管理此类多国疫情所需的国际合作和沟通。
The 23rd World Scout Jamboree was held in Japan from 28 July to 8 August 2015 and was attended by over 33,000 scouts from 162 countries. An outbreak of invasive meningococcal disease capsular group W was investigated among participants, with four confirmed cases identified in Scotland, who were all associated with one particular scout unit, and two confirmed cases in Sweden; molecular testing showed the same strain to be responsible for illness in both countries. The report describes the public health action taken to prevent further cases and the different decisions reached with respect to how wide to extend the offer of chemoprophylaxis in the two countries; in Scotland, chemoprophylaxis was offered to the unit of 40 participants to which the four cases belonged and to other close contacts of cases, while in Sweden chemoprophylaxis was offered to all those returning from the Jamboree. The report also describes the international collaboration and communication required to investigate and manage such multinational outbreaks in a timely manner.
