SCOUT JAMBOREE
INDICATIONS from town and district are that some eight boys will be nominated to represent Whakatane in the New Zealand Scout contingent leaving these shores next June to represent the Dominion at the first rally of World Youth since World War II and which' will be held in France. The Dominion hopes to send something like 300 boys in the Empire quota of 10,0.00. The main problem confronting the Scouting authorities in this district is the raising of the necessary finance to send the nominees, each of whom has been carefully selected irrespective of status or the standing of his family in the community. The approximate cost will be £l5O per boy, and Scouting organisations have been busy throughout the district rasing funds by all means at their disposal. Local bodies have supported the appeal generously and it is to be hoped that the individual citizen and resident will do likewise in seeing that this district will be well represented in the universal meeting of youth from eyery nation in the world under the banner of ‘Brotherhood and Goodwill.’
