New Zealand Scouts took part in an international broadcast from the jamboree this morning. Mr. Robert Haraki, a scoutmaster, delivered a New Year greeting in Maori. He said: New Zealand, you should bo proud of your Scouts. They have put up a splendid show with their Maori village. To-day we greeted our chief in our pa. the whole tribe in Maori costume. We are all fit and enjoying every moment of this wonderful jamboree.
The boys then sang Maori songs, finishing with two fierce hakas. To-day was the junior Scoiits’ day at Frankston, when Brownies and Cubs gave a welcome to their chief in the Cubs’ own quaint ceremony, the Grand Howl.
Each night the scouts gather around the camp fire and entertain themselves with songs, stories and lecture.! on scoutcraft. Visiting scouts are delighted with the location of the jamboree on a hillside among gum trees overlooking the sparkling waters of Port Philip, in which leave is spent in bathing.
