SCOUT WEEK
OBSERVANCE IN MASTERTON TOMORROW'S PROGRAMME. TODAY’S ARRANGEMENTS CANCELLED. Parades and demonstrations by Masterton Scouts and Cubs, in furtherance of the Scout Week campaign, which were to have been held this afternoon and again tonight, have been postponed on account of the wet weather. The parade scheduled for tonight will take place at 10 o’clock tomorrow morning. “Good deeds day” will be observed tomorrow afternoon. Tomorrow night, if the weather is favourable, a camp fire ceremony will be held on the Waipoua River bed, adjacent to the suspension bridge. Cubs and Scouts will parade at the St. Matthew's den at 7 p.m., and will march to the camp fire site via the entrance to the Allen memorial bridge between the Waipoua bridges. Stories will be told and favourite songs will be sung. Parents and friends will be welcomed. Sunday will be observed as Brotherhood, Memorial and Dedication Day, the objects of which are for the boys to reaffirm their promise and to express to church and kindred organisations their mutual respect. Sunday is also the anniversary of the birth of Lord Baden Powell, the founder of the Movement. All and Cubs will assemble at St. Matthews Den at 10.30 a.m. and parade to church. The first part of the Scout promise: “To do my duty to God and the King” is the real foundation of the movement, and Sunday’s parade will show that the boys realise this: The Scout promise is: “On my honour I promise that I will do my duty to God and the King; to help other people at all times; to obey the Scout Law.” The Law is: “A Scout’s honour is to be trusted; a Scout is loyal to the King, his country, his Scouters, his parents, his employers, and to those under him; a Scout’s duty is to be useful and to help others; a Scout is a friend to all and a brother to every other Scout, no matter to what country, class or creed the other may belong; a Scout is courteous; a Scout is a friend to animals; a Scout obeys orders of his parents, patrol leader or Scoutmaster without question; a Scout smiles and whistles under all difficulties; a Scout is thrifty; a Scout is clean in thought, word and deed.”
