The Centre national de formation des Scouts et Guides de France (National Training Centre of the Scouts and Guides of France) is located in Jambville, France. Each year, more than 2,000 people attend the courses. With 27 meeting rooms, 200 beds in rooms or dormitories and a dining hall with 400 seats, the center has the necessary infrastructure to accommodate many people.

The garden of the castle, built in the 18th century, covers nearly 52 hectares, half meadow and half forest. Every two years, it hosts the meeting of the young Christians of Île-de-France, the FRAT.

History

In 1952, the Chateau de Jambville was purchased by the Scouts de France after the new owners of castle of Chamarande, the previous training center, decided not to rent their castle to the Scouts any longer.
