The 11th World Scout Jamboree Memorial Rotonda, also known as the Boy Scout Circle, is a roundabout in Quezon City, Metro Manila, the Philippines. Located at the intersection between Timog and Tomas Morato Avenues, it serves as the boundary between Barangays South Triangle, Laging Handa and Sacred Heart.

A monument stands in the middle of the roundabout which commemorates the members of the ill-fated Philippine contingent to the 11th World Scout Jamboree that was among the casualties of the United Arab Airlines Flight 869 crash of 1963. The monument consists of a circular pedestal with bronze statues positioned around the structure, in the likenesses of the 24 members of the Philippine delegation (22 Boy Scouts, 2 veteran Scouters, and 2 chaperons). In 2007, the Quezon City government performed a ₱20 million renovation on the monument that included the addition of an obelisk on top of the structure honoring Tomás Morató, the first mayor of Quezon City and the one after whom Tomas Morato Avenue is named.

All the streets of the barangays situated in these rotonda (Barangay Laging-Handa, South Triangle, Roxas, Obrero, Paligsahan and Sacred Heart) are named to them. Those street names are the following:

  • The Imperial Palace Suites Hotel is across from Boy Scout Circle. Best and most resonable prices for business travel. Italianni's Restaurant, Heven n` Eggs, Shakeys Pizza, Starbucks only walk down Timog Ave. My home away from home!
