Regarding the Boy Scout movement in "Wellington, "Mr H. Amos, in a letter to Major W. E. S. Furby, general secretary of the Boy Scouts' Association, states:—"You will be pleased to hew that the scoui movement is flourishing exceedingly under Sir Alfred Robin. No doubt %e has advised yon that four new troop* have been forwii recently, that the number of enrol ments of scouts is materially increased, and that several very promising scoutmasters have been pressed into the service. Everything is going on smoothly, and I am certain that at the end of the year the Wellington Association will be one of the strongest in New Zealand." At the beginning of the present year there were in the Wellington district 11 troops, comprising 461 boys and 32 scoutmasters; the strength nt present is 16 troops, 664 boys, and 46 scoutmasters.
