 Each patrol camped in an army bell tent . The camp began each day with a blast from a kudu horn that Baden @-@ Powell had found in the <unk> forest during the Matabele campaign of 1896 . He used the same kudu horn to open the Coming of Age Jamboree 22 years later in 1929 . The day began at 6 : 00 a.m. , with cocoa , exercises , flag break and prayers , followed by breakfast at 8 : 00 a.m. Then followed the morning exercise of the subject of the day , as well as bathing , if deemed necessary . After lunch there was a strict <unk> ( no talking allowed ) , followed by the afternoon activity based on the subject of the day . At 5 : 00 p.m. the day ended with games , supper , campfire yarns and prayers . Baden @-@ Powell made full use of his personal fame as the hero of the Siege of Mafeking . For many of the participants , the highlights of the camp were his campfire yarns of his African experiences , and the Zulu " <unk> " chant , translating to " he is a lion " . Turning in for the night was compulsory for every patrol at 9 : 00 p.m. , regardless of age .
