These Scouts left Rio de Janeiro on April 1st. They travelled up the Pan-American Highway and cut across the United States toward Niagara-on-the-Lake. They encountered a few problems such as blown tires, one roll over and some harsh weather. At every stop of their journey they were met with the local Scout Troops. After the Jamboree, they left for Alaska with the goal of visiting the Arctic Circle before heading home. Their total jouney lasted 1 year 12 days.
