Two South Africans made a surprise arrival to-day. They cycled from Sydney, via Canberra, having desired to see the Australian countryside. Their journey has occupied a fortnight. Arrangements for the jamboree are complete in every detail, even to the production of a daily newspaper by a staff of honorary scouts. Brilliant pageantry will mark the opening day on January 29, when ten thousand Scouts will march past Lord Baden Powell, led by the bearers of the flags of all nations.
