On to the First National Jamboree (English poster distributed in the Philippines)
A cartoon map of islands in red and orange. Scouts in uniform reach a 'Jamboree Site' by raft, outrigger, jeep, train, plane, balloon and on foot, while a scout stack topped by a flag-waver rises from a campfire ring. The headline invites readers to the first national jamboree at Quezon City, 23-30 April 1954. The tell is plain-folks: ordinary scouts, animals and homemade transport make attendance look like a general, cheerful movement.
