  The goals of the Olympic Youth Camp are:

  ? Spread the Olympic spirit,
  ? Showcase the cultural history and the folk-custom of the host city (and country) and
  ? Promote communication and friendship among the youth of the world so as to create a unique Olympic experience.　　

  The OYC began at the Stockholm 1912 Olympic Games, when King Gustav V of Sweden invited 1,500 Boy Scouts to pitch their tents near the Olympic Stadium and celebrate the Games. Over a century, almost every Olympic Games has hosted the Olympic Youth Camp. Started from 2004, the Olympic Charter clearly defined in Chapter 5 Rule 50, "With the authorization of the IOC Executive Board, the OCOG may, under its own responsibility, organize an international youth camp on the occasion of the Olympic Games."
