11th Canadian Scout Jamboree - Connaught Ranges

Connaught Ranges

Connaught Ranges was one of the smaller sub camps at the jamboree, with about 600 participants within its boundaries. The camp sites were in wooded areas and, as put by many of the campers they were " Boardwalk and Park Place on the CJ board". The Main Field; which had no grass, but only dust was where the general hub of activities took place including food collection, event nights and registrations.

Connaught Ranges had many different activities each night including silkscreening and an "Ironman" night where both youth and leaders alike participated in events such as sumo wrestling and drag racing.

Connaught Ranges was named for the location of the first CJ in Canadian History(1949) in Ottawa, Ontario.
