2. Make Troop and Patrol equipment, such as:
Patrol Kitchen Box (see December, 1949, Scout-
ing.) . . . Charcoal Burners. Use this method at
your camporee see Jamboneering Manual. . . .
Patrol Fly. A good project for the Mothers' Club.
A 10' x 10' has been recommended as Jamboree
size. To add atmosphere, give each Patrol a differ-
ent color. Dye muslin before water-proofing. . . .
Troop Entrance. Select a design typical for your
part of the country. Use the best talent in your
Troop. Keep conservation in mind; big timber
entrances are not recommended. Keep it simple,
but original and artistic. . . . Patrol Flags and
Patrol Totems. 'Nuf sed.
To give Jamboree flavor to your camporee, work
some of the following ideas into your program:
Preliminary Training Camp. After your equip-
ment is in shape, conduct an overnight camp for
your leaders, organized as a Patrol. Here you will
work out the high points of the Camporee and
assign details to Patrols.
Camp Fires. Keynote of the camp fire should be
"Friendships." The opening ceremony is important.
Each Scout can add a small stick to the fire and
dedicate it to the world-wide Friendship of Scout-
ing. Give the program an historical touch. Include
pantomime and charades on historical subjects.
(Don't overlook the old-timer in your neighbor-
hood who can do this part of the program.) Add
a ceremony for the Scout who'll represent the
Troop at Valley Forge. (A scroll with all Scouts'
signatures. ... A collection of swaps — something
typical of your locale.)
Demonstration Area. Use the county fair idea
of a series of demonstrations, such as foil cookery,
rope yard, fire building, nature displays, etc. Invite
parents at a specified time to tour the camp; give
them pointers on how to enjoy living in the open.
The Jamboree will measure up to the best camp-
ing in the Scouting world — but let us not lose
those values for the million boys who will not go
to the Jamboree. Give them the same top-notch
experience in a Jamboree-style Camporee!
