I'm hoping that this posting finds someone that knows on the of folks in this photo, it would be great if I could get the photo back to one of the members that attended this jamboree.
The
13th World Scout Jamboree
(
第13回世界スカウトジャンボリー
,
dai-jūsan-kai sekai sukauto jamborii
) was held August 2 to 10, 1971, on
Asagiri Heights
on the western side of
Mount Fuji
, in
Fujinomiya
,
Japan
, approximately 80 miles southwest of
Tokyo
.
The Jamboree was interrupted by
Typhoon Olive
in which 16,000 of the participating
Scouts
were evacuated to shelters in the countryside for 48 hours.

The Jamboree site was served from the south by Japan National Highway 139 and a turnpike from
Fujinomiya
. Arriving Scouts were met at the
Haneda International Airport
in Tokyo and transported by
coach
to the Jamboree site, or to the
Olympic Village
in Tokyo as an intermediate stop.
The American contingent was divided up.

A code was given to the troops. Some might be JKT, which meant Jamboree, Kyoto, then Tokyo, before returning to the United States. Some others might tour Tokyo, then go to the Jamboree, then tour Kyoto.
The site itself covered an area of grassy
sandbank
of about 4 km
2
, sloping gently from east to west. The Jamboree Camp headquarters, Subcamp #11 Chūō, in the center of the site, was roughly rectangular in shape.
Medical facilities at the Jamboree were operated by the
United States Army
and
Air Force
. Other facilities at the Jamboree were a Skill-o-Rama and Exhibits service center and a large Trading Post.
In the opening days of the jamboree the Scouts played a 'wide game' in which each Scout was given a
hiragana
on a colored card worn around the neck. At a signal the Scouts would fan out over the jamboree site looking for the other characters which would spell out the jamboree theme, 'For Understanding'—no two character cards could be the same color. The Scouts who accomplished this feat then proceeded to a station to have their cards validated with a stamp.
