BOY SCOUT MOVEMENT.

A meeting of the committee of the Boy Scouts was held in the "Chronicle" office, on Monday evening, Rev. Wayne presiding. Mr C. F. Bennett, scout organiser, was present, and gave the committee much useful information. He advised an immediate start. The boya were keen and a great many of them looked forward to being scouts. The useful work taught made the boya more efficient for other branches of military training. Messrs P. H. Sims and H. Matthew proposed that a meeting be held at 7.30 p.m, on March 15th, for the purpose of enrolling and swearing-in the boys. Messrs C. Bennett, organiser, and N. C. Matthew were added to the committee. It was decided to invite Chief Scout-Master Garrington, of Taumarunui, to be present at the ceremony. A place of meeting will be announced later, and in the meantime boys that have handed in their names are urged to secure the names of all boya wishing to become scouts. The ccreuiOijy will undoubtedly be a most impressive one as each email toy lii take an oath to be faithful to ilia King and country, to be kind, and courteous to ail, to render assistance to those in distress, to bo kind to animals, and ; to be thrifty.
