Description: This original, fully embroidered participant uniform emblem was produced for the 12th World Scout Jamboree. The rectangular cloth insignia features a tightly stitched light blue sky background. The upper half is dominated by a prominent white fleur-de-lis—the universal symbol of the World Organization of the Scout Movement—flanked vertically by the words "JAMBOREE", "WORLD", and the date "1967" embroidered in bold red thread. The lower portion displays a scenic mountain range rendered in soft white and gray tones, situated directly above a dense row of green evergreen trees. A dark green ground segment anchors the design with the white text "IDAHO, U.S.A.", while the bottom edge finishes with an abstract stylized representation of a traditional scouts' knotted rope loop in tan thread.
Circa: 1967
Notes:
This specific gathering was a monumentally historic event because it marked the first time the United States hosted the prestigious World Scout Jamboree, welcoming over 12,000 global participants to Farragut State Park in northern Idaho. The event was officially organized around the thematic motto "For Friendship," serving as a massive global bridge during the heightened geopolitical tensions of the Cold War.
