These 2 item represent 50 years of scouting history. The 1957 Sutton Park World Scout Jamboree handbook is a superb piece, showcasing everything that was great about scouting at the time. The book is in used condition and when it arrived with us the front cover was detached. We always choose to let the new owners do restoration work on items as they will complete it to their own specifications.
Otherwise, the book is in great condition as can be seen from the photos and even includes the piano music for the official Jamboree song written by Ralph Reader. The photos are nostalgic of a bygone era.
The 2007 Hylands Park Jamboree DVD is a great example of the change in technology. The official souvenir was available to order in the main arena at the Jamboree and was sent out once it had been completed.
These 2 items are a great lot and would take pride of place in any scouting collection.
