The 5th
Worldjamboree will always be remembered as the Jamboree, where B.P. resigned.
This Jamboree, joined by 28.750 scouts from 54 countries, was officially opened
by Queen Wilhelmina. The Jamboree was known as the cleanest Jamboree until then
for its 650 watertaps and 120 showers. For the first time each subcamp (11) has
its own subcamp badge (each with its own colored bar). First there were 9 subcamps,
but at the last moment two extra subcamps were added: Woestduin, mostly
inhabited by Dutch scouts, and a subcamp especially for seascouts. There also
was a special badge for the staff.
