Scout bands have been making great music at Scout Jamborees
ever since Baden-Powell coined the word "Jamboree" and organized
the First World Scout Jamboree in London, England back in 1920.

Jeff Kitzman took a lot of the pictures - which probably explains why
he appears in so few of them.
That's the common fate of photographers. He also put together the slide show. Thanks, Jeff.
