Concho Valley Council Jamborees

The original Jamboree was scheduled to be held in 1935 but had to be canceled because of polio.  When the Jamboree was cancelled,  the council very quickly organized a 4,000 mile trip to Pike's Peak, Yellowstone and the
Grand Canyon.  The Scouts left that Friday morning, August 16, 1935, in two Greyhound buses.  Instead of paying
$75 for the Jamboree, they only had to pay $65 for this trip.  The Iraan troop, which consisted of a full band, voted to
go to the San Diego Exposition.  They left a day earlier, on August 15th, and headed out for a 15 day trip to the West
coast.  For this story, and the other Jamborees, go to dates below and clik on HERE.
