1957 - National and Jubilee Jamborees


I attended the 1957 Jubilee Jamboree in Sutton-Coldfield, England. The trip was a real adventure for me. Our troop, 22, represented western New York state.

We first attended the National Jamboree in Valley Forge. We then traveled by ship to England. Before the Jubilee Jamboree, we visited various tourist sites in England.

After the Jamboree, we had a whirlwind tour of Belgium, Netherlands, Germany, Switzerland and France. Returning to New York City aboard ship.

I prepared this slide show which I presented to several Niagara Falls civic organizations which had helped me pay for the trip.
