X4TM MnHOSE who remember the siege of Mafteking during the Boer || War no doubt remember the foundation of the Boy Scout move- ** ment, which now numbers more than 3,000,000 members in more than 40 countries of the world. It 'was during that siege that Sir Robert Baden-Powell first put into practice his schemes, for training boys in scouting,andit is frorti the work, he did there that the whole movement has sprang. Canterbury has a special interest in the Chief Scout's visit and in the rally that is to be held in the Show Grounds to-morrow, because it was in Kaiapoi, Christchurch, k and North Canterbury, that the first Scout troops in New Zealand were formed. ■ - The movement was launched officially in England in the year 1908/ when Sir Robert published his famous book, "Scouting for Boys/*, but in 1907 a trial camp had been held at Brownsea in Dorset, and it~was the news of this camp, reaching New Zealand in letters and papers in 1908, that led to the establishment of the first New rpatrol, consisting of four boys and a Scoutmaster. Major (later Lieutenant-Colonel Cosgrove), who had met. Sir the Boer War, founded the movement here and enrolled . theScourts and the Scoutmaster, Mr T. Mallasch, a former officer of the German Navy living at. Kaiapoi. By the end of 1908, only six months after the formation of the first patrol, when 36 patrols had bben formed in North Canterbury alone, a meeting of Scoutat Papanui unanimously chose Major Cosgrove .'leader of the movement'in'New Zealand, with the title' of Dominion Chief Scout later this title was confirmed by General Baden-Powell, and independent control was granted to New Zealand, salute Chi?L TtLe programme ror ine anernoon^ In 1912 impetus w<s givento the movement by a visitpaid to - with the Dominion hakaby 100 picked ScputSi ...... - - - ----- - - come of various kinds by all Scouts and- Guides, i» gathering of boys that had up to that date been seen in Christchurch. Scout troops came from Timaru, Ashburton, and the West Coast, and though the day was wet and the parade had to be held., in the King Edward Barracks, it was an immense success. x > ' To-day . there are 10,000 Scouts and Cubs in . New- Zealand, Colonel P.Clennell Fenwick being Honorary Dominion Chief Commissioner. The Dominion headquarters are at Christchurch, _ while the country is divided into sixteen Scout districts, each of which is. controlled.by a District Commissioner. The basis of the movement is the group committee in each which is responsible for packs, and crews in its group, and which recommends the appointment of Cubmasters, Scoutmasters, and Rover leaders. While the boys were succeeding so well, their complain that they were not included in the movement. As eftrmaß 1909, indeed, a few girls, in a uniform of their own de»gi§*d bravely worked their way in among the 8000 Scouts at ,. rally,in the Crystal Palace to see the Great Ghiefy-whom ! - as their own chief equally with the boys, andlott the suggestion these girls were named "Guides,?* lines to their brothers.
