The 25.792 Scouts
from 34 countries were welcomed very hospitable in the royal park and the connecting
woods of Gödöllö, approximately 18 km outside of Budapest. The camp was divided in 9 sub camps,
with their own police, First aid, phones, campfire, information office and a
band. In the sub camps troops from as many different counties as possible were
accommodated to promote fraternization. Every contingent had a translator who
translated Hungarian for them, but mostly “Jamboree” was spoken, a sign
language with hands and feet. Furthermore there was an own airport with 5 motor
airplanes and 16 gliders, in which a lot of scouts took a tour. For the first
time 5 Jamboree stamps were emitted. The symbol of this Jamboree was the white
Hungarian deer. B.P. said about it: “This deer represents the pure spirit of
Scouting, always leading forwards and jumping over obstacles towards new
adventures.”
