VALLEY FORGE, Pa. Friday morning things really swung into action as the Jamboree started its first day of full activity. Boys began trying to obtain the Boy Scout Adventure Award.

We were given an inspirational speech by Lady Baden Powell, the wife of the late Lord Baden Powell, founder of the Boy Scout movement, and by Joseph A. Brunston the chief scout executive. A program was given on stage entitled "Profiles in in which the history of our nation was traced and enacted on stage. A special emphasis was put on the heritage of history from Valley Forge where Washington and his troops stayed that deathly winter of 1778-79, and now where 60,000 Boy Scouts are camped. Saturday was American heritage day at the National Jamboree.

Every troop here at the Jamboree hoisted a 13-star Betsy Ross American flag at 9. a.m. and flew it throughout the day. Our third day at the Jamboree was climaxed by a troop campfire at which three Canadian Scouts visited with us. They were Norman Lauzen, Cornwall, Ralph Rogers, Marie, and Greg Brown, Ottawa, Ont.

Each patrol in our troop gave and the three Canadian scouts gave a skit for our troop at the campfire. Everyone sang patriotic songs in connection with American Heritage Day. Every boy was presented an American Heritage coin displaying a linked chain of the 13 original colonies. Vernon Burton, scribe.
