Scouts from around the world gather for cultural exchange, outdoor activities, leadership development, and global friendship. The first jamboree was held in London in 1921, and they held in different counties every four years. This trophy is from XVI (16th) Jamboree, which was held from 30 December 1987 to 7 January 1988 at Cataract Scout Park, near Sydney, Australia. Key highlights from this jamboree include. - First in the Southern Hemisphere: This was the first World Scout Jamboree held south of the equator, and the first to shift from the traditional August schedule to January to align with the Australian summer. - Theme: Bringing the World Together — a fitting motto for an event that welcomed 14,434 Scouts from 84 countries, plus 13,000 visitors on Visiting Day. - Opening Ceremony: Held at midnight on 31 December 1987, it was the first official event of Australia’s Bicentenary celebrations, adding national significance to the global gathering Wooden trophy with blue stick-on plaque on frontXVI World Jamboree 1988 Performances Victorian Branch Scout Bandscouting, scouts, cataract scout park, jamboree

The 1st Kew Scouts was one of the first Scout Troops in Victoria, being formed in 1909. From 1927 they met in a magnificent Scout Hall in Disraeli Street, Kew until it was demolished in 1993. Still operating (in 2020) from their new Scout Hall on the corner of Kilby Road and Kellett Grove, Kew.A Scout Troop is divided into smaller teams called ‘patrols’. At this time the Scout in charge of a patrol was called a patrol leader (‘PL’) and his assistant a ‘second’ (‘Sec’). Each patrol of boys would chose a patrol name, often an Australian animal or bird. Other 1st Kew patrols called themselves the Kookaburra Patrol, the Kangaroo Patrol and so forth. The shield the Emu patrol is proudly displaying is possibly the trophy for being the ‘Champion Victorian Patrol’. Some of the Scouts pictured are identified on the mount of the photograph.Back row left and centre: "Pettinger, Evans" Front row left to right: "J. Edwards, R Craven [PL], R.T. Timms [Sec], P.
