Description: The World Scout Jamboree is a Scouting jamboree of the World Organization of the Scout Movement, typically attended by several tens of thousands of Scouts from around the world, aged 14 to 17. The Jamboree is above all an educational event that brings together the world's young people to promote peace and mutual understanding and to develop leadership and life skills. 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 13th Jamboree was unique in that it was interrupted by Typhoon Olive, in which 16,000 of the participating Scouts were evacuated to shelters in the countryside for 48 hours. These scouts (including myself!) were mainly of the American contingent. Most all other nationals experienced the typhoon. The front of this keychain reads “13th WORLD JAMBOREE / 1971 NIPPON,” and the symbol for Boy Scouts along with an image of Mount Fuji are displayed. The back reads “FOR UNDERSTANDING” in both English and Japanese. The keychain has a clever snap-open design to make taking keys on and off the ring easy. The pendant’s diameter is 1.25”.
