DOMINION SCOUTS,
OBy Scoutmaster ■. Meyers.) In notes whioh appeared a fortnight ago ro Island Bay drum and fife troop," the following sentencß occurred: "Scoutirij; was not in very high repute." Unfortunately the construction. placed upon tho .statement, in some quarters, was that tho scouting , organised in Island Bay at tho time was not in high repute, and therefore . must have been iil low repute. Nothing could have been furthor from the and intention of the writer responsible for the paragraph. All that was meant was that scouting had not appealed to nil, and was not understood by the lads, whom'the organiser of tho new troop approached. Some, for instance, regarded it 'as a branch of military work, and quite a number of objections to the movement, generally due to misunderstanding, has been overcome. '
