Jamboree marks Irvine Ranch National Jamboree anniversary
Fifty years ago 50 000 Boy Scouts and leaders gathered on Irvine Ranch for the third National Jamboree the West Coast event hosted by Myford Irvine. The site boasted 35 000 tents across 1 292 campsites with 88 miles of water pipes and a 150 member police force. A 75 000 seat amphitheater hosted entertainers and a Nixon speech while a 18 000 daily beach buses served the scouts. A 50th reunion is planned Sept 20 at Disneyland Resort with information from the Orange County Council.
