N.Z. SCOUTS USE THEIR WITS
(Received January 4, 11.40 a.m.) SYDNEY, This Day. A group of about forty New Zealand Scouts used their wits to escape a reprimand from, overstaying their leave in the city without special permission.
They returned to the jamboree camp after the time for lights out, 10 p.m., and then waited until the lights at the gateway went out and handed to Rover Scouts who picketed the gates what seemed to be special passes. On examination later, however, it was found that the "passes" consisted of train tickets and pieces of blank paper. The ranks of the New Zealanders at the jamboree were completed yesterday when Brian May, the boy who was taken off the Awatea with a slight attack of measles, took his place in his patrol.
