Stick with dullard back from house party (8)

I believe the answer is:

jamboree

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'party' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'stick with dullard back from house' is the wordplay.
'stick with' becomes 'jam' (I've seen this in other clues. I am not sure about the 'with' bit.).
'dullard' becomes 'bore' (synonyms).
'back from' says to take the final letters (the letter at the back of the word).
The last letter of 'house' is 'e'.
'jam'+'bore'+'e'='JAMBOREE'

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for jamboree that I've seen before include "Boy Scouts' international gathering" , "Lavish celebration" , "A mere job (anag.)" , "where lad of 14 [BOY SCOUT] meets more troops?" , "Large scout/guide rally" .)
