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.
