Show Report From ... Boy Scout Jamboree and began exploring the Jamboree. Jam-boree. It is a city of approximately 35,000 scouts, representing 50 nations. There are markets, squares, arenas, theaters, and even a rail-' way system. Near our troop there are some 300 Czechoslovakian Scouts. Down the road there are Scouts from New Zealand and Holland. Across the street we have two Scotch troops, complete with kilts and bagpipes. By George Garwood Moisson, France August 15 Report Now that I have at last arrived at the Jamboree and have set up my tent, I can get a. little time to think about what I have seen in Holland and Belgium. In four days we visited every (or anyway it sure seemed like it) town in the Lowlands. In Antwerp we were met by 50 Belgian Bel-gian scouts who acted as guides and above all were great friends to us.

The second day we toured Antwerp, An-twerp, visiting Reuben's Home and the Town Hall. Continuing on, we visited Brussels and returned to the ship once more. Tlie next day we saw Holland thru a very heavy rainstorm. We went to Rotterdam Amsterdam, and The Hague. On our way back it cleared up and we saw a beautiful beau-tiful green Holland as it usually is. The fourth day we went to Bas-togne Bas-togne and visited the large military. mili-tary. After a brief ceremony we returned to Antwerp and were taken to the Sports Palace, a large arena. At 5 o'clock the next morning we were up and dressed all ready with our packs, in order to move off the ship. We were taken by bus to the train a train very different dif-ferent from those that we have in the States. At 9:30 that night we arrived at Moisson. From there we were taken by bus to the Jamboree Camp. The next day we set up camp |
