SSScout 1615 Posted March 28 Share Posted March 28 (edited) Maybe not a "patch", Way back in 2005 (not quite ancient history, but still....) I served as a Chaplain (Religious Society of Friends) at the National Jamboree at what was then titled Fort A. P. Hill. Even then, when I found out who Hill was, I wondered, "they named a US Army Base after a Confederate General ???" . I am glad we settled that mistake. Anyhow, I was issued a real live gen-you-wine Jamboree BICYCLE ! Helped me get around on my Chaplain duties. Even gave me a bike lock with it. Yes, I have some stories, another time.... At the end of the Jamboree, I was told I could BUY IT and take it home, so I did ( a bargain for a "used" bike !) Scout son rode it for a while at home, then out grew it. He later became a bike trip leader for Baltimore Yearly Meeting summer camp (up and down the Shenandoah Valley). For that, we got him a larger, more able bike . He took that with him when he "grew up" , The Jambo bike went into the storge shed. Now, Here it is, time to find it a new home. Any ideas? FB Market place? Scout Memorabilia site? Make me an offer? Tires hold air, sealed bearings, 15 speed Suntour deraileurs, it's a SCHWINN "RANGER" (!) made in china.... Edited March 28 by SSScout 1 Link to post Share on other sites
