SCOUT JAMBOREE
PREPARING THE SITE
Some 50 Scouts from Wellington and the Hutt Valley have been going out each weekend to the site of the national jamboree at the end of the year, and have done a great deal of very valuable work. Grubbing gorse, cleaning out drains, and removing the scrub from a well-sheltered gully where the camp fire circle will be held, some 100 ft up the hill, they have accomplished a wonderful amount of work in 1500 working hours. This will be continued until the jamboree. Mattocks, slashers, shovels, and spades in the tool house show signs of having been well used.
