Posted the other day a blog about things to collect at the upcoming Boy Scout national jamboree other than jamboree shoulder patches. Well, we keep coming across wonderful Scout collectibles from prior jamborees that are neat as heck. Here are some more of our recent ‘finds’.

The hood ornament below from Old Kentucky Home Council does not specifically say jamboree on it but it was common back in the 1950s and 1960s for the cars to have these for the jamboree contingents. They exist for other councils. Also one can find license plate border pieces for cars as well.

Technically in the category of “ephemera”, that is things that were issued during or for the jamboree that were used at the jamboree but are not patches or uniform pieces. Here is a mess hall card from the 1960 national jamboree.

Cast metal sign, about 5 inches across used at one of the BSA national jamborees held at Valley Forge PA (1950, 1957, 1964)

Addendum 2 – 06/27/23 – Keep finding more fun items

A fun piece from Summer Trails Council out of Bay City, MI. Some eye glass wipes (sight savers) obviously handed out at the 1950 National Jamboree. Made by Dow Corning Company, headquartered in Midland, MI which is in their council.
