1960 Jubilee Jamboree "Adventure Award"

1n 1960, the 5th National Jamboree was held at Colorado Springs, CO.  The event celebrated the 50th Anniversary of the BSA with a scenic view of Pikes Peak just to the West.  As with other Jamborees, the Troops were divided into Regions.  Each Region camped together and did various events with friends and fellow Troop members.  One of the unique opportunities offered at the Jubilee Jamboree was the chance to complete a series of events at the Jamboree and earn the coveted "Adventure Award".  Upon completion, Scouts were awarded a certificate stating they had earned the award at the Jamboree.

Most other Regions created special Jamboree patches for the event.  Region V decided to take another approach.  Instead of a Region Patch, they created an "Adventure Award" Rocker that went underneath the Julbilee Jamboree Patch.  It was designed to spur Scouts in this Region to complete the Award at a higher percentage of Scouts from other Regions.  The golden twill patch had the Region V Shield and V with Arrow through it.  This is one very had to find patch - especially in Mint condition, as most Scouts earning it received one and immediately sewed the patch underneath their Jambo Patch.  Scouts from other Regions were only given the certificate of completion while Region V Scouts came away with a highly prozed collectible.
