SCOUTS TO VISIT BRITAIN
Representation At Meetings
Boy Scouts, Rover Scouts and officers from New Zealand will meet in London late in July. A little before August 1 they will travel to Birmingham as a contingent to represent New Zealand at a scout jamboree, a rover moot and an officers’ indaba, all of which will be held from August 1 to 12 this year, to mark the centenary of Lord Baden Powell’s birth and fiftieth anniversary of the foundation of the Boy Scout movement.
Last evening two brothers from Christchurch, Messrs Terry Jacobs and Warren Jacobs, aged 19 and 21, left for Wellington on the first leg of their journey to England. They are rovers of the Kotuku crew. New Brighton. Mr N. Skilton, of Auckland, will be in charge of the 20 New Zealand rovers when they arrive in England. Mr Skilton travelled to England last month.

The scouts will leave in about two weeks. G. Ragg, M. Scott, D. J. Howsen, B. J. Cotton, N. J. Franks, D. Lucock and B. R. Dunstan, all of Christchurch, are seven of the 19 New Zealanders who will attend the jamboree. Before the jamboree, however, they will attend the world training centre for scouts at Gilwell. England.
Several New Zealand cub mistresses will attend the indaba. Some of the New Zealanders intend to make a tour of the Continent after the scout meetings. The Jacobs brothers intend to buy a motor-cycle in London. From there they will go to Scandinavia. They also hope to see the motorcycle Tourist Trophy race on the Isle of Man. In all they will be overseas for about a year and a half.
