World Jamboree!

[Michael Alexander]

Who knows the names of the Scouts from Oranjemund, that attended the World Jamboree? I am not even too sure what year we are talking about.

[John Creedy]

One was Rory O'Brian who was a Queen scout.  We used to like the queen remember?

Methinks  Steven  Worth  also attended a Jamboree as well .. Viv  help here  ...  By the way  Steven has  now gone to  Korea   to teach ...  saw him last week  and said  farewell ...

[Diana Rudd (Boehme)]

Me thinks you right Sandy,I'm sure he did.

Hi Sandy. Steve if I recall was supposed to attend the Jamboree in Iran but the Shah was deposed by the Ayatollah and it was cancelled. He stayed with us before he left for Korea and the latest is that he arrived safely and will teach the high school girls! His dream job I think!!

Cheers

I remember Stirling and Steve cycling from Cape town to Oranjemund about 1976 arounds????? Jack McBride was the back up with all the gear for the stops etc.This was to raise funds for a jamboree they were going to.

Wow, what a memory flash that brings on!! I was a much younger Girl Guide at the time and remember being inspired (and somewhat infatuated) by Steven's achievement.  My those were the days!!

Hi Chris

I didn't accompany Steve on the journey from Cape Town. It was a chap called Michael Birbeck, a school mate of his.

All the best

Stirling
