SCOUT JAMBOREE

ARRANGEMENTS FOR 1940 DISCUSSED

MANY VISITORS FROM OVERSEAS EXPECTED

IPKSSS ASSOCIATION I'KLBGBAK.) WELLINGTON. September 15. Wellington boy scout leaders gathered last night to hear Commissioner J, E. F. Vogel and his assistant organisers of the New Zealand centennial jamboree describe their plans as far as they had been formulated. About 200 were present. Considerable progress was reported. It was stated that only scouts over 12 years or others who had attended at least one preliminary camp would be eligible to. attend. If applications proved heavy it might be found necessary to restrict attendance to first and second-class scouts. Administrative work of the camp is to be carried out by rover scouts, some 250 of whom would go into Camp several days before the official opening of the jamboree. During the actual jamboree they would be assisted by Toe If members and by cub mistresses. A separate auxiliary camp for cub mistresses would be established at some distance from the main camp. Past jamborees in other countries had shown that there were many activities in which they could be' of valuable help. Parents, supporters of the scouting movement, and those for whom the rigours of- camping would prove too strenuous, would be accommodated near the jamboree.

Camp Arrangements A vote taken on the question whether scouts from each centre should be encamped en bloc according to districts, or whether the troops should.be separated to enable the boys to mix with other scouts from overseas and from remote parts of New Zealand favoured the latter proposal. It was stated that there would be 000 to 1000 overseas scouts attending. An auxiliary camp for crippled scouts numbering about two dozen would be a feature of the jamboree. It would be controlled by Toe H.

Any surplus funds from the running Of-the camp would be devoted to the entertainment of the boys and to sight-seeing trips round the district probably to be provided in the last three days of the camp.
