Scout News

Those of you who read the papers will have seen that the World Scout Jamboree has come to an end and a fitting 1 climax, was the resolution passed by the delegates or 35 nations at the final session ol the International Scout Conference, requesting the International Committee to do all it can to ensure that Scouting and Rovering should possess all the elements of International friendship, Irrespective o! creed and race. Thus, the resolution states, any step to the militarisation ot Scouting or the Introduction of political alms which might cause misunderstanding and handicap the work for peace and goodwill among nations and Individuals should he entirely avoided. Scouting Is becoming more and more a Tactor in world afTalrs and world peace and It is up to each one of us to keep our end up by showing the public that Scouting Is all that It claims to be. By always being smart and to follow out our Scout Laws and Promise. Happy trails, HAMUTANA.

Well, good scouting, everyone, until next week. ••HAMUTANA HOT 8HOT8."

It also comes to our ears that this same Rover went range-finding with the artillery. How many Rangers did he find—we wonder? It is a well-known fact that the 44 Hamutana ” crew Is the best crew in New Zealand, but how many know that they now possess a large fleet of magnificent cars, viz., two model T Fords, the ancient Dodge truck, the sparking Austin, rhe super-tuned Marquette with all-skid wheels (ask Pierre, he knows), the Harley motor-cycle and eight rattling good boneshakers in case or emergency. - How many crews can beat that? HARD FACTS. DO YOU KNOW— That in the United Kingdom there are 370,2 56 Boy Scouts and—that this means a total or at least 370,256 good turns every day? That 185 cases of Boy Scouts saving life by stopping runaway horses are actually on record? That many hundreds of cases of Boy Scouts assisting the police have been recorded, Including 4 5 cases where Scouts have received awards Tor exceptional risk? WOLF CUBS’ POW-POW. One of the second star tests is that you must satisfy Akela that you are doing your best to keep the pack den tidy and to prevent litter on outings and in camp. 1 think that Is Important, don’t you?
