Boy Scout Jamboree 12,000 Boy Scouts from 54 lands meet in the Philippines for the 10th world jamboree, the first ever held in Asia. A spirited and impressive march marks the opening, to defy a persistent drizzle. Scouts everywhere! (I thought I also saw two girls standing by a flag pole with two boys - ?) Scouts march in national groups (Canada, USA) past a bunch of adults. U.S. ambassador (?) and Philippine president (?) are in attendance, says the VO.
