Item Description
In 1977, 28,000 Scouts set up camp in a valley of Moraine State Park in Pennsylvania and then the floods came.
4 1/2 inches of rain soaked the Jamboree site in two days causing more than just wet socks and sleeping bags. In some places, the mud was 4 inches deep with standing water reaching up to another 2 inches. However, the Scouts didn't let the soggy surroundings dampen their spirits. There were plenty of Scout competitions and one of the largest campfires ever. Burl Ives and Bruce Jenner were also rumored to have been in attendance for a portion of the 10 day event.
Celebrate history with this belt buckle commemorating the Jambo at "More Rain" State Park.
