Tom: Swiss National Scout Jamboree (1948)


Figure 1.--Here I am in my new Scout uniform at the 1948 National Jamboree in 1948. Notice that I don't have any badges on my shirt yet, except for the Jamboree patch. Click on the image to see father and I at the Jamboree.

The Swiss National Jamboree was held at Trevano, near Lugano in the Italian speaking part of Switzerland in 1948. It was 1 year after the World jamboree in Moisson, France. The Swiss National Jamboreee was the third?? national Jaboree held in Switzerland. It was a very exciting time for me. I was 12 years old and had just moved up from the Cubs to the Scouts. Until then my experiences had been with very small groups. It was almost overwealming to be involved in such a major Scout activity.
