They were among 56,700 in attendance. The Kirks often visited with Dennis Martell and Jim Anderson of McHenry at the letters' campsite.

Mr. Kirk said it would take at least a half day to inspect one of these classifications. Physical fitness tests were included on the program for the bdys. The program listed running through rubber tires; keeping their balance on the edge of a mounted plank; jumping over an open pit; catching a rope and swinging until they could get to the other side; and climbing a 12 ft. wall on a rope. The area is so large It costs thirty cents to make a complete tour on . a bus. The Jambbree was held across from the Air Force academy, with side trips to Will Rogers Memorial on C h e y e n n e m o u n t a i n . R o c k y Mountain National Park. Boys Town was also visited.
