The Bossier Lions Club Football Jamboree was first held on August 27, 1954, featuring eight teams across four games. This tradition has continued for 72 years, becoming an annual highlight in the local community. Many Bossier Parish residents have taken part in the Jamboree during their high school years.

Proceeds from the event are used to support parish high schools, fund football programs, and provide college scholarships. The Lions Club also supports vision screening for children, provides eyeglasses to those in need, and aids both the Louisiana Lions Eye Foundation and the Louisiana Children’s Camp for children with special needs.

Leading up to the Jamboree, the club honors football coaches at a fish fry, where an assistant coach is recognized for their contributions. A Jamboree Queens Luncheon is also held on the Thursday before the event, celebrating the six Jamboree Queens and their parents.

As Bossier City has grown, so too has the importance of organizations focused on enhancing the community’s quality of life. Since its founding in 1927, the Bossier City Lions Club has played a vital role through its events, fundraisers, and service initiatives. Priorities include vision care, youth support programs, and assistance for those in need. The club has proudly upheld the Lions' motto of "WE SERVE" for nearly a century.
