Happy Holidays!
In honor of the XIX World Jamboree in Chile, I am pleased to announce the
addtion of some very special historic World Jamboree materials to the Pin=
e
Tree Web. The Pine Tree Web dedicates a considerable attention to B-P's
Jamborees (1920-1937). These are the five Jamborees Baden-Powell attended
during his lifetime.
Newly published: The Boy Scout Association published The Jamboree Book, 1=

Olympia, London in the summer of 1920. It presents a=A0record of preparat=
ions

seldom-seen photographs from this important Scouting milestone.
