Canada hosted the 1955 World Jamboree and due to its proximity the BSA sent a large contingent to the event. As in the past the Troops were divided into Regions. Some Regions produced special patches and others came up with unique items. Region V (composed of Scouts from Alabama, Tennessee, Mississippi, Louisiana and Arkansas) sent their scouts with a special "8th World Jamboree" Neckerchief. The above mint Necker was from the Phil Partlett Memorial Scout Auction of the West Los Angeles Area Council.
A unique collectible from Region V that ranks up with the 1960 Jamboree Region V Advenure Award Rocker.
