|
The third Jamboree of the Boy Scouts of Korea will be held at Hwarangdae, Seoul,
the site of the Korean Military Academy from 10th to 15th August, 1967. The Jamboree is a part of a
series of colorful events to celebrate the 45th anniversary of the Korean Boy Scouts.
Nearly 6,000 Korean Scouts and 200 foreign Scouts and Scouters from the Republic of China, Japan, Philippines and the United States of America will participated in the great events. The objects of the Jamboree are to give opportunities to Scouts from all the Provinces of Korea to live together as brother Scouts and to foster unity and solidarity among them and also to promote the idea of the world brotherhood of Scouts. The word "Jamboree" was used by Sir Baden Powell of Gilwell for the first time in the Scouting since he held the first international Jamboree in August, 1920, at London, England. The third Korea Jamboree will be not only a pageant to celebrate its 45th anniversary but also will dramatically show the picture of the Korean Boy Scouts movements. |
