 Dear Jamboree
 Scouts and Leaders;
 About the time this letter b being read to you, shall Dc thinking of you, sincerely hoping that you are at last really enjoy ing the trip you have earned by being outstanding Scouts. Tn some respects, the years delay in carry" ing out the trip has been an ad' vantage. You now know each other better. You have had the fun of anticipation that much longer.
 The Jamboree Troop has meant cross. section Of Mattatuck Council Troops for over . year. Although the delay has doubled the many details o Arrangements for your trip, my work with and for you has been fun. My great desire now that you are miles away, is to be sure you have an instructive, pieasurable, successful trip, free from any mishapS, trouble or dissension. Remember that Scouts are friendly and obed' lent, For the success of this trip I ask you to be friendly and CO., operative with each other and with you rleaders.
 Above ell, ask you to elirn. mate any chance of any accident to one of you. If l appear too Dolicitous about this, wish to explain that as a boy missed many of the things I like to help you enjoy. because an accident nearly deprived me of my left leg. If you wish to show any appre. ciation for the small part I have played in making your trip pos- sible, do 1t by making the most of the trip and come back glee- fully, unharmed and physically strong.
 Remember that you are expect cd to be mentally awake: When you witness the glorious hill and mountain scenery you are enjoy ing "tho' tout" in Scouting. When you see Lake George you are looking at Q Jewel" such as few countries can duplicate. When you stand in the trench at IT, conderoga, recall the brave fight of the Black Watch. When you witness the might of Niagara, feel properly "subdued" and resolve to do betterl
 Best wishes for a swell trip.
