I whole heartedly agree with your suggestions especially having lots and lots of traders and give-a-ways. My family were visitors the the 13th World Jamboree in 1971 in Japan . There were 600 Canadian Scouts, 100+ male (women were not (officially) permitted as Scout + levels at that time), One Canadian Female Leader (my Mom - Wolf Cubs) and one Canadian Wolf Cub (Me). There were also 42 PLANE LOADS of American Scouts. No one wanted to trade with them because of the volume of Scouts. Canadian objects, on the other hand were like Gold to the Americans. As such, were were able to trade for things that were not supposed to be traded (Jamboree neckers, special crests etc.). Although we did make fair trades the American Scouts loved to see us.
oh wow that sounds like an amazing adventure and story. If you ever want to do a video, please email us at hello@scoutadelic.com would be wild to hear it :)
