.. ' (By KIM.) The Cromwell Troop are In camp at Clow's Paddock, Northcote, and under the supervision of Rev. H. Steele-Craik (Scout- . master) aud Assistant - Scoutmasters Granger and Moody, are having a most useful and enjoyable outing. With the aid of the Ponsonby trek cart the boys conveyed most of their equipment from their headquarters at Mount Eden to the ferries, and from thence to. their camping ground on Monday morning last, and the eagerness with wfiich they tackled the job left no doubt as to the pleasure they were anticipating In the open. Since the troop has been under canvas members have put In some excellent Scout training, and the ■behaviour of the boys generally speaks well for the future of the troop, and should be very encouraging*to Scoutmaster SteeleCralk and his .assistants. Last evening ' the Northcote No. 1 and 2 Troops, under Scoutmasters Davidson and Mitchell, made a fraternal call on the Mount Eden Troop and the spirit of brotherhood which prevailed was so evident that a visitor to the camp, in addressing the Scouts, briefly expressed the hope that similar good feeling would spread to all the troops through-' out the district. • Scoutmaster G.
