"Thirtyfour nations sent Boy Scout
delegates to the second Scout jam
horee, which was held at Copenhagen,
Denmark, in 1924. The United States
had II representatives at that jam
boree The first iamboree was held
in London in 1920, and 26 nations were
represented. Our country had large

of Sir Robert Baden-Powell, the
founder of the Boy Scout movement.
The purpose behind it is to pro
mote peace through a better under
standing and the fostering of good
will and friendly cooperation between
the boys of all lands. AT the JamDo-
rees the boys live in true scout camp
style, and have their competitive ath-
letic contests, drills, games, eNhlpl-
tons and pageants."

dorsed the idea enthusiastically and
unanimously adopted resolutions call
ing upon the President to invite the
world iamboree to this country.
The matter was brought to the at
tention of the President, who has
stated that no official action can be
taken by him before he is authorized
to do so by Congress. Therefore the
resolution was introduced. 1t was re-
ferred to the committee on foreign af-
