I am pleased to announce a new and important Jamboree series on the Pine
Tree Web (http://www.pinetreeweb.com).

In the summer of 1937, the Scouts of the world gathered together at
Vogelenzang, the Netherlands, for the Fifth World Jamboree. Already the
storm clouds of war were forming. It was to be the last such gathering for
ten years. It was also B-P's last jamboree.  Collected together are over 50
historic photographs as well as an account of the Jamboree written by James
E. West, Chief Scout Executive and leader of the American Contingent.

Other Jamboree series on the Pine Tree Web cover the four earlier Jamborees:

    England, 1920        http://www.pinetreeweb.com/1920-jamboree.htm
    Denmark, 1924      http://www.pinetreeweb.com/1924-jamboree.htm
    England, 1929        http://www.pinetreeweb.com/1929-jamboree.htm
    Hungary, 1933        http://www.pinetreeweb.com/1933-jamboree.htm

The next work in progress will cover the 1st National Jamboree held in
Washington, DC in 1937.

As always, your comments, suggestions and criticisms are appreciated.

Yours in Scouting,
