CAMP-FIRE SCENE
Lord Baden-Powell Waits Alone For Scouts END OF LONG HIKE Melbourne, January 11. In the silence of the forest at Gilwell Park, Lord Baden-Powell, the Chief Scout, waited alone before the great camp fire the coming of the Scouts at the end of their long bush hike. The ceremony was admirably stage-managed. Parties assembled in the trees beyond the camp-fire circle, moving in at the appointed time, each with a welcome for the Chief.
When all were assembled round the fire, weary but with spirits undaunted, thrilled with their experience in the solitudes of the forest, Lord BadenPowell gave his farewell message. He said: "It is the greatest jamboree I have ever seen, not because of the numbers or the prominence given to Scouting, but because of the wonderful spirit of goodwill and friendship. The jamboree has ended, but the result will go on. Be a friend to all and a brother to every other Scqut, and thus yon will help to bring in the Kingdom of God.”
