5th World Scout Jamboree - Closure and Farewell

Closure and Farewell

At the closure of the event on 1937-08-09, Baden-Powell pointed out the symbol of this jamboree: the Jacob's Staff and took his farewell.

“ I am nearing the end of my life. Most of you are at the beginning, and I want your lives to be happy and successful. You can make them so by doing your best to carry out the Scout Law all your days, whatever your station and wherever you are. Now goodbye. God bless you all. God bless you. ”

Famous quotes containing the word farewell:

    “Time is like a fashionable host,
    That slightly shakes his parting guest by the hand,
    And with his arms outstretched, as he would fly,
    Grasps in the comer: the welcome ever smiles,
    And farewell goes out sighing.”
    —William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
