This is the first jamboree to have been held after [[Robert Baden-Powell, 1st Baron Baden-Powell|Baden-Powell's]] death in 1941.


The [[President of the French Republic]], [[Vincent Auriol]], paid an official visit on August 14, 1947, and saw a special arena program, including massed [[Highland dancing]] by the [[Scottish people|Scots]].

His visit was also marked by clouds of dust-Moisson was the "Dustboree"-and by hordes of press photographers who seemed to make a point to get in his way, at which point [[General]] [[Joseph Lafont]] made the [[sotto voce]] plea "[[God Save the King!]]"
