FOR 'PHI-1 SCHOOL YEAR 1929- 1930 'l'Hr1XX'ORl-lJ SL'Ol l' IANIBOR l-1 H 1910 Un the llth of june all the Canadian -Iamboree Scouts assembled at Ottawa for a week's training in camp prior to going to England for the International Jamboree held at .-Xrrowe Park, near Birkenhead. We totalled some one hundred and sixty scouts and were divided into four troops, namely the W'illingdon, Byng, Devonshire and Connaught troops. We were all from widely scattered homes in all the provinces and each patrol of eight scouts, - there being five patrols to a troop, - was so arranged as to represent a cross-section of the Dominion. For one week we camped in a Normal School recreation ground and practised dis- plays, historical pageants, Indian dancing, French-Canadian folk dancing and singing, pyramid work and tumbling for the Jamboree exhibitn. We also did a certain amount of route-marching on warm days with full equipment on our backs. Our scoutmaster - Mr. Power, of the Devonshire troop - led us on many enjoyable tours around the city. On july 13th, a Thursday, we entrained for Nlontreal and sailed the following morn- ing on the S.S. Antonia. At Quebec the following day we were reviewed at the Citadel by the Chief Scout for Canada, l.ord Willingdon, who was accompanied by I.ady Willing- don. His Excellency addressed us on the coming great enterprise and afterwards spoke personally'to several of us. .-Xfter sailing from Quebec the voyage was uneventful, the most interesting occurrences being the passing of icebergs in the Straits of Belle lsle and our chats with some American Scouts who were also Jamboree bound. Un the 27th .luly we sighted Ireland and later in the day some Scottish lslands with their neatly laid out green iieldsand hedges harmoniously blending with many-coloured hill-sides and red-roofed, white-walled cottages. .-Xfter calling at Greenock and Belfast we reached Liverpool on Sunday -luly 28th. When we landed at Birkenhead we took busses to :Xrrowe Park and then marched a mile and a half through the camp to our contingent location. Our camp was about 175 yards long and 75 yards in breadth and this gave usample room in which to move around between the tents. Fach of the four troops had a large marquee tent which served as a dining-room and each patrol of eight Scouts lived and slept in a bell tent. These tents were round and about l-l feet in diameter, a single pole supporting the weight of the tent, with tent pegs and stays maintaining the balance on the outside. For bedding we were each provided with two rubber ground-sheets and three heavy blankets and we used our dunnage bags for pillows. Our kitchen-range was at the rear of the camp. Here each patrol had its Fire-place and cooking-grill. They were all in one line, dug to plan and made to look as symmetrical as possible. The Patrol Leader ofa patrol x as numbered one and his cooking duties were to supervise and aid the efforts of his Scouts, the rest of his patrol was numbered according to rank from two to eight. The system of cooking was this : numbers two and three washed up after break- fast and cooked lunch g scouts four and Five washed up after lunch and cooked supper 3 six and seven washed up after supper and cooked breakfast- then the round began again, scouts eight and two pairing off to clean up after breakfast and so on. In this way we each had to cook and wash up one meal a day and it did not grow monotonous. For the first few days we were busy settling down and arranging camp and also lending a helping hand to the London and Sussex Scouts who were camped in front and beside us. Norway was quite near at hai d and Scotland was also close by. llll
