Scouters' Dinner.

Although at the time of -writing only 21 Scouters have signified their intention of attending the annual dinner, there is little doubt that by Friday next there will be sufficient nominations to warrant the committee definitely engaging the dining rooms for August 2. An interesting and varied programme will be presented, including the first screening in New Zealand of the entire film of the World Jamboree.

Scounters (tho term includes all officers) are urged to advise either a member of the committee or H.Q. if they will be able to attend by Friday next. The cost is 3/ per head. Last year's function was universally acclaimed the most successful gathering ever held in Scout circles, and this year it is hoped that it will be still better. » * * * Monument to Progress. Twelve new groups have been formed (or revived) since the last census taken at the end, of last August. Tho most recent registration is the Ist Kaikohe Troop of 25 boys under S.M. P. C. Galbraith and A.S.M. K. Leigh. Neither of these Scouters are strangers to the movement, for Scouter .Galbraith was S.M. of the Baglan Sea Scouts when they were running some few years ago. Scouter Leigh hails from one of the London troops, where ho Avas troop _ leader. Auckland sends fraternal greetings to these boys of the olive green scarf, who parade in the Public Hall on Wednesdays. * * * * Hospital Troop. Tho Avorkings of the Hospital Troopattached to St. Mary's—under S.M. G. C. Iversen, are not often noised abroad, and it is pleasing to learn that a steady progress is being maintained there. The latest news is that Scouts B. Guiman, T. Green and I. Allingham have been successful in passing the conventional signs for first-class tests. Congratulations and good luck to all those of the patrol, which must find such difficulty in keeping the eighth Scout law. Gunson Signalling. The competition for the Gunson Signalling Cup will be held on August 1(5 at the Epsom Training College grounds. Entries close at H.Q. on August C. * « * * . Cubbing at Glenfield. Doings in the "Glenfield" jungle were very gay last week, when the newlyformed pack held their first pound night. Parents and friends Avere invited, and an investiture ceremony was held, when eleven cubs received their tenderpads. Games Avere a great feature of the evening, but perhaps not quite so important (to the cubs, at any rate) as tho supper and soft drinks that Avere handed round just before the pack gave its final grand howl at 0 p.m. Thanks are .due to the committee ladies Avho looked after the supper arrangements.
