I saw Lyndon Johnson speak at the 1964 Jamboree in Valley Forge. I was 14 and I don't remember a single thing he said. I do recall the heat. I remember the fire works as the best in my life. I remember I had a great time and I learned how to make a Steel Band from Roger Calthorpe, a Scout from Trinidad. I remember learning how to do proper First Aid from some Navy guys who were probably SEALs. I also recall clearly a trip to the Philly Shipyards
and a walk along the Trail.
   My Scouting experience was one of camping, woodcraft, public service, and constant education. My Scout leaders were mostly all great Men and Women with a few clinkers along the way. But an experience I'd never trade and would gladly repeat.
   Experiencing High Falls on clear night with the Persieds over head is something that can't be equalled and you never forget it.
