SCOUTS’ JAMBOREE
AN AMERICAN GIFT. (United Service.) (By Cable—Press Assn.—Copyright.) LONDON, August 2. While the Prince of Wales is at Arrow Park he will rough it with his fellow Scouts. His tent is pitched on
a strip of lawn shaded by trees in the front of Arrow Hall. It contains only a camp bed, washstand, table and a chair. Lord Baden Powell, who will be the Prince’s Equerry, will tent alongside. Mr Mortimer Schiff, the millionaire American banker, and Vice-President of the American Boy Scouts, handed the Prince of Wales a cheque for £lO,OOO to establish a fund for the promotion of a boys’ international fellowship, which the Chief Scout will direct from London.
The newspapers pay a tribute to Lord Baden Powell’s peerage, as a fitting climax to 21 years’ service in the Boy Scout movement, making his name a household word throughout the world.
