Darn. I wanted a much more fun explanation than that.

The owner of JL Initiatives replied to a followup e-mail: "I just used the word ("jamboree") to mean a collection of trackside sheds."

Mystery solved.

Maybe it includes a  dance floor, a couple of banjo pickers, and some dancers.

There theoretically would be dancers. Gandy dancers!

I would have never used the word "jamboree" to describe that kit.

Or perhaps even the National Boy Scout Jamboree!  Wink

Maybe it's just marketing.  There are some trackside items in the box, and they have to call them something, so maybe they thought "jamboree" would get your attention and cause you to buy it.  Just a thought.

 

 
Bob,
 
And it did just that!

What does the term "jamboree" mean in the context of the structure in this link?  My prototype railroad dictionary does not include it.

Thanks.
