ROUND THE CAMPFIRE
HIKING SCOUTS WELCOME CHIEF END OF WONDERFUL JAMBOREE Press Association—By Telegraph—Copyright MELBOURNE, January 11. (Received January 11, at 10 a.m.)
In the silence of the forest at Gihvell Park Lord Baden-Powell waited alone before a great campfire the coming of the scouts at the end of their long bush hike. The ceremony was admirably stage-managed. The parties assembled in the trees beyond the campfire, the circle moving in at the appointed time, each with a welcome for their chief. When all had assembled round the fire, weary, but with spirits undaunted and thrilled by their experience of solitude in the forest. Lord Baden-Powell gave a farewell message. He said: “It is the greatest jamboree I have ever seen, not because of the numbers or of the prominence ■given to scouting, but because of the wonderful spirit of goodwill and friendship. The jamboree has ended, but the result will go on. Be a friend to all and a brother to every other Scout, thus you will help to bring, in the Kingdom of God.”
