Very fond memories of Idaho.
I put together a reunion for the 150 Australian contingent in 1992 for 25 years, we had 120 and 29 apologises.
Went pack to Idaho in 1995 and drove around the site with my wife.Friendship Tower still there so was swimming area. Could not believe how beautiful the scenery was.

I can remember the 12th World Scouting Jamboree just like yesterday, an honour to have attended making many International friends. I would love to attend a Re-union and relive the magic of 1967. So many wonderful memories " For Friendship" to be continued.
