1973 National Scout Jamboree | Attended by BSA Troop 61 of Milwaukee, WI

I attended that. I will have to look for myself. :)

I was there also with my troop from Miami Florida

I was there from Troop 399 Cincinnati Ohio.  Awesome!

I went to the Jamboree in Idaho. saw Bob Hope perform.

Thank You for posting. Got my 'Scout' badge there. 11 years old. As I remember, during one of the ceremonies, in the placards spelling the motto, 'Growing Together', there were spaces in the word 'together' between the o and the g, and the t and the h. Funny how I remember that...
Thanks again for the smiles...

To The guys that made and put this up, THANK YOU I thought I had lost those memories as I had not had anyone to talk to about that Jamboree for many decades. Hell, I couldn't even name one guy who was in my troop I can't remember my troop number, but I was in one of the Allentown, PA troops in the early 1970s I believe I even saw myself once or twice which was really very cool as I was able to put my first hand memory together with what I was watching right then, wow, really, thanks I hope you get some notice so you see my thanks.

Glad you posted this...:-) I was only a young girl when my father, Joe Tomko, a camera man, took me along and gave me a press pass for the day. First thing I noticed was there were no girls anywhere...;-) I followed a group around as they learned how to identify different animal tracks. Then I used to rope to swing into the lake...:-) It was a very hot day, but I wanted to get the experience too, so I could write about it. Anyway, I wondered around and found the TeePees and met a Great Native American Chief and his Grandson, who taught me how to make beautiful things using string...:-) Then his grandson taught me how to shoot a bow and arrow. Well, then appeared the first group of boy Scouts I encountered that told me no girls were allowed. They challenged me in archery. So, I accepted. One boy told me that if I win, I could keep the pin. I agreed to go last. The boy that challenged me shot the bullseye and yelled he won! I looked at him and said not so fast, I haven't had my turn yet. They all started walking away, as I proceeded to pull back my arrow on the bow...then with amazement to every one there, I split his arrow and won, hitting the center of the bullseye! The boys came back running to look at the target close up, as well as the grandson of the great Chief, who removed my arrow, he loaned me, along with the split arrow, that he said he was going to keep. The boy Scouts just walked away, in disbelief , and refused to give me the pin for winning as promised...:-( The great Chief was given the split arrow and then he named me....well, that's another story, but he named me "Sunshine" 🌞! That was way, way better than a pin...;-) Ever since I went there with my father, I tried to convince the Girl Scouts to do the same thing. To teach girls survival skills and other skills just like the boy Scouts were learning. I also encouraged boys to learn what girls were learning. You can never not know enough...;-)
