Six buses left from the parking lot of the First Baptist Church on Broadway. A seventh bus joined the caravan at Plainview. The party spent the night in Pueblo, CO., and went on to Denver for a visit there before they returned to the Jamboree grounds near Colorado Springs that Thursday. After arriving in Pueblo, they met other Scouts from Georgia and Florida and attended a program by the Women's Civil Air Patrol state championship marching corps. In Denver, the group toured the capitol building and ate lunch at one of Denver's city parks. Following lunch, they witnessed a judo exhibition by Japanese Scouts Yukio Saito, Suetoshi Sato and Tetsuya Nakamura. That afternoon they toured the U. S. Mit and later ate supper a the University of Denver Student Union and went swimming in the university pool. That night they slept in the university fieldhouse. Scouts in the Lubbock group visited the U.S. Air Force Academy, the Garden of Gods, Royal Gorge and Pike's Peak. The Jamboree went from Friday through July 28. The jamboree site was located across the highway from the Air Force Academy. The South Plains boys returned July 29.
