Buffalo Trail Council Plans Western Scout Trip
Because the Washington Jamboree was cancelled due to infantile paralysis, the Buffalo Trail Council considers a western trip for their scouts.

Estimated cost around $73 plus per boy, with the jamboree uniform and gear in a haversack and each scout carrying a bed roll to cut hotel costs.
