That metal token was given to each of us Scouts at the Jamboree. 50,000 Scouts pitched our tents on what is now the ground under Newport Center in Newport Beach, California. Hard to believe I attended the 50th reunion of that event. Jamboree Road, on Interstate 5 is a constant reminder of that event. Thanks for the memories. Whoever lost it, lost more than an Ebay collectible item.

With the kind of luck you are having, you need to buy a Powerball ticket. NOW!

If you want to get a feel for what what going on at that Jamboree, you may wish to read the speach we heard at the 50th reunion:

Nice digs Randall..that token is nice and what's interesting to me is another TNet member was actually at that event and received the same token all those years ago.
Don that's amazing..too bad progress has to hit those sites, there's so many places I worked and played as a kid that are gone now as well.
Nat
I'd also like to add that speech was phenomenal..it would be my hope to hear something that even comes close to that should I attend any kind of reunion in the future.

Another thing about that Jamboree. We arrived in Newport Beach (actualy Irvine today) in trains and buses from around the country, but not before planned stops along the way. I came in from Chicago, via Denver (first time ever saw the Rockies), San Francisco, LA and finally NB; then returned via the southern route (Needles Ca. 100 degrees at 6 PM; another 1st experience) then the Grand Canyon and other stops. So it was not just the experience of the desert campsite, it was that experience and a lot more. No doubt it may rank as one of the top ten life experiences for those who had this opportunity to attend.
'Old school', for sure, and what a pleasure it still is to have those memories; thanks for finding that 'relic' from the past--my past.
