This summer Boy, Scouts and Explorer Scouts from all over the United States and from sev eral foreign countries attended the Notional Jamboree at Valley Forge, Pa. This was an experi ence in camping and fellowship that those in attendance will re call with pleasure in the years to come*. It was a demonstration in mass camping that put to test the many skills and crafts of Scouting and its participants learn ed more of brotherhool and coop eration in one short week than they ever could from textbooks and sermons. ^ Valley Forge Was a wise choice for this National Jamboree, for here was enacted one of the greatest of all American epics of fortitude. The Continental Army had been beaten both at Brandy wine and at Germontown in the fall of 1777, and it must have in deed been a demoralized group of men that encamped at White- marsh, Pa., that November while waiting for the general staff to decide where they were to spend the winter. It so happened that there was little choice, for the Executive Council of Pennsyl vania threatened to withdraw not only its men, but its supplies and financial support if the Continental failed to remain close to Phila delphia. General Washington, in order to maintain a united front, yielded to this demand and just six nights before Christmas of 1777, these soldiers, cold,’poorly fed, many of them weak from exposure and illness, settled down at VaUey Forge, only 40 miles from where the British were comfortably encamped at Philadelphia- ; Although llie British failed to attack, winter, an even more dangerous and toll-toking enemy, played havoc with Qeneral Washington’s forces. Three thou sand men perished, and if ac counts are correct, only one suc cumbed to a bullet, and that was fired by an -angry farmer in an effort to protect his chickens. The cold was intense. Frozen legs turned black and many am putations were necessary. Too often the% amputations were follow^ by death. SmaUpox broke out and diarrhea and dys entery were prevalent. Men tried to sleep beneath the snow with scant clothing and often with no blankets. In February the Prussian Gen eral Baron von Steuben joined Washington’s forces as drillmas- ter. Despite the many hazards and inadequacy of food and clothing and proper shelter, by spring he had brought a sem blance of order out of chaos and Washington now had a well- trained, efficient and organized force, and when the Continenal Army left Valley Forge after a winter of untold hardships and priviations, they marched on to ultimate victory and gave us the United States of America. And so those Scouts who at tended the Jamboree at Valley Forge this summer camped where many of America’s bravest and best men • learned discipline and i learned to bear up under hardship. They camped where Alexander Hamilton, Chief Justice John Marshall, and President James Monroe camped that fateful win ter of 1777 and survived the or deal by cold and hunger and dis ease to help formulate policies for a new Republic. The VaUey is rich in history; it is a symbol of America and Americanism, a bulwark against Communism and all the other isms that would destroy the democratic way of life. And those Scouts who at tended return, not only better versed in the ways of camping, but inspired with a fundamental patriotism which aU Americans today so much need to lay firm hold on. ^ 0 * Wayside News By Mrs. Ralph Plummer presided.
