SCOUT NOTES

<By "Rama.")

Scouters and others in Wellington will hear with sincere regret that Mr. Arthur Re-id ("Kamahi") has found It necessary to resign his offices in the movement as at July 31 for reasons of health. "Kamahi" has never spared himself in the work for the boys and has gained the respect and regard of officers and Scouts far beyond the limits of his own troop and district. We wish "Kamahi" a speedy recovery of health, and look forward to having him co-operating with us again in the work in the not-too-distant future. Wellington North District.
