Three Scouts from Brazil (Rover Scouts Hugo Vidal, Charles Downey, and Jan Stekly, of Scout Troop Grupo Escoteiro Carajás in São Paulo) drove a CJ-3B jeep from their home, to the 8th World Scout Jamboree 1955 at Niagara-on-the-Lake, to Alaska, and home again. Named "Operation Pineapple" because of the the tough, jagged, forbidding exterior of the tropical fruit, their journey eventually took 12 months and covered 72,000 kilometers.
