GETYQURMANWITHA Want Ad FRI. AUGUST 8, 1969 - PLAINDEALER - PG. 9 | MYSCOBT NEWS \ TROOP 162 I just returned from my va­ cation, part of which included visiting the seventh National Boy Scout Jamboree. Aslpark- ed in the huge parking lot and waited for the visiting hours, I immediately spotted our oth­ er McHenry visitors parked a few cars away. They were gob­ bling down their lunch and get­ ting ready to go in as soon as the gate opened. Don Wolf, John Boehm and Jim Kirk took fcwfnty-five Scouts from some of the near­ by towns as visitors. These men deserve a lot of credit for giving up their vacations and going to the expense and headache of herding the boys out to Idaho. The boys wanted to go but couldn't go as active members so these men got the ball rolling anj^took them as visitors. The Boys stayed at the Circle K-D Ranch in Washing­ ton at beautiful Lake Newman. The boys tented near the lovely sand swimming beach and the leaders, plus two leaders from Cary, had a cabin nearby. The boys went mountain climbing and hiking in the beau­ tiful surrounding countryside. Boating, fishing, water skiing and horseback riding were a- vailable at the ranch. The boys spent the opening day of the Jamboree visiting the McHen­ ry campsite and all the other things available for Scouts there. At night they watched the very impressive opening cer-,, emonies where a huge map of the United States was made by 400 boys carrying flags. Jesse Owens, an astronaut, and other interesting speakers were fea­ tured. A dedication ceremony with 35,000 participating Scouts lighting candles was beautiful. The fireworks display was the greatest I've ever seen. The boys went back to the Jamboree again the next day to be sure they hadn't missed anything. The train ride to and from Idaho gave the boys a lot of interesting sight-seeing. It was a wonderful experience for the boys and they had a great time. Members of our troop who went out were Mickey Falk- nor, Ted Honning, John Spidal- ette, Jeff Hoffstetter, Nicky Troka, Steve Wolf, Dale Adams, Kevin Ddrin, Gary Boehm and Brett DeckchyNext week we will have an article"about the Scouts who went as participating mem­ bers and some of their exper­ iences.
