The Masterton Borough Council having granted permission to the local Scout movement to rope oil Church Street in front of St. Matthew's Scout Den, the committee has completed arrangements for the big Scout effort tomorrow and on Saturday.

The road will be roped oil in from of the Den, but the footpath on the Y.M.C.A. side of the street will not be closed. Here the boys will give a demonstration of fire-fighting, and this will be followed by the Cubs giving their Grand Howl. The next attraction will be building a monkey bridge across the street, together with tripod building, first aid attention, etc. on the street. Tent pitching, water boiling, the erection of a model camp and other Scout work will be carried out on the green in the Den section. A similar programme will be gone through in the evening, though the Cubs will not be included. Details of Saturday and Sunday s activities will be announced latei. The District Scoutmaster (Mr A.
