International Scout Center
The International Scout Center, the pavilion for the 11 million scouts from 89 countries, occupied an area on Ile Sainte-Helene about as large as a football field. A central path crossed it, on each side of which large photographs of scouts at work and at play were mounted on wooden panels. A tent supported by cedar masts, which covered a central stage, dominated the area. There games, songs, dances, and demonstrations were staged during the day, and a campfire burned at night. Outside the tent were booths depicting typical scout activities. A pool had been built for the scouts so they could, through canoeing, swimming, lifesaving and scuba diving, present the pleasures and dangers of water.
