Jamboree highlights One of the highlights of the trip to the Scandinavian Countries for the twb Clifford Scouts, Dean Dailey and Duane Foerter were u the five days of terrific home hos- pitality we received while in Sweden. We stayed with a Swedish family who spoke some English, in a town called Lilla Edet, which is located about 60 miles from the City of Goteborg. Lilla Edet has a population of 2,000 and it is built on the river shore with fishing the main source of employment. The terrain in this area was rough and heavily wooded, though well cultivated where possible. One unique point about our home hospitality was the trip up the river through the lift lock system on the cargo ship. This certainly was an experience we will remember, Other highlights of the trip, be- sides the Jamboree, were scenic tours through the cities of Stock- holm, Goteborg, Oslo, Turku, Helsinki and Copenhagen. While in Copenhagen we had a tour through Carlsberg and also saw the Little Mermaid. Among many famous sights we saw places such as Vigeland, Sculpture Park in Oslo, also the Holmenkollen Ski Jump, the Volvo Factory and Glass Glowing Factory in Gote- borg, the Central Square and Market Place in Helsinki, Stads- huset ,City Hall and the Royal Palace in Stockholm, and many other interesting sights too numerous to mention. The Jamboree "Norjam'b 75" was most exciting with over 17,280 boys ,attending, represeht- ing 91 countries out of the 102 countries throughout the world. One could call it a 'Tented City" which was laid out in the shape of a hand. The "Five Fingers One Hand" was to represent the five Host Nordic Countries working together as one, to host the 14th World Jamboree. The colors and different uni- forms from various countries and their respective flags were a very impressive sight. On our 24 hour hike our patrols and Black Cats all tied for second place with 2 points each. The Doublemints were the winners of the tournament with a pinfall of 1,869. The Senior Juniors winner in the tournament were the Sub - 'marines with a total pinfall of 1,890. Tied for first place in team play are the Red Hots, French Fries and Submarines with 3 each, followed by the Big Macs, Big Boys and Foot Longs with 2 each. The high single and double for the girls went to Jo -Marie Mc- Cormick with 191 and 326. Boys' high single was Robbie Grove with 196, while David Nesbitt captured the high double of 314. Other scores over 195 were: David Nesbitt, 177; Greg Storey, 181. The Freaky Five led the Special Events tournament of the Seniors with a pinfall of 2,877. In team play, the Crusaders and the Clue Klux Clan tied for first place with 5, followed closely by the Freaky Five with 4. The Pink Panthers were in third with 3, edged by a tie for fourth place be- tween the Jaws and Anonymous with 2 each. The girls' high single was scored by Rhonda Lee with 258, and the high double went to Pam Gerrie with 597. Jamie Smith captured both high single and double for the boys with 266 and 551, respectively. Other scores over 200 were: Pam Gerrie, 230; Brenda Foxton, 244; Bill Ohm, 230; Paul Cerson, 224. consisted of eight Scouts and a leader, all from different count- ries. Most could speak either English or French. We hiked approximately 22 miles and slept under the stars. The weather was great with temperatures averag- ing 28 degrees centigrade. They've had very dry weather in the past couple of months. We took over 20 rolls of colored . film so feel free at any time to call us if you would like to see these slides. Summing up our trip I can only say our 29 days were truly a memorable ,and educational ex- perience. D. H.
