The BSA held the Fourth National Boy Scout Jamboree at Valley Forge, Pennsylvania in 1957. Valley Forge was the location of the Continental Army's winter quaters during 1777-78. This was the second winter of the War and their commander, General Washington, had difficulty obtaining adequate supplies, but it was here that the Continental Army that fought toe-to-toe with the British was forged. The location provided opportunities for the Scout not only to visit Valley Forge itself, but many other interesting historical sites, especially the ones in Philadelphia. The official neckerchief issued the boys was red, white, and blue with a Jamboree seal at the back. There was also a round pocket patch issued. There was also a World Jambore Held in 1957 because it was the 50th anniversary of Lord Baden-Powell founding the Scouting movement. A newsletter was printed, Jamboree Journal on each day of the Jamboree.
