INFORMATION TO SCOUTS.

His Excellency the Governor-General has forwarded to Colonel Cossgrove tlie following copy of information received by him from Sir George Le Hunte, Commissioner for Overseas Dominions, dated London, December 22, 1919:—"! am requested by the Chief Scout to say that H.lt.H. the Prince of Wales will probably inspect Scouts during his visit to the oversea dominions early in 1920, and the. Chief Scout will be glad if you will bring the following points to the special notice of the heads of the Scout Association in your Dominion:—The Prince is very quick to observe any variation or defects in uniform or equipment. The Chief Scout hopes that all will unite in showing their close adherence te tho regulation pattern of uniform as an expression of their loyalty to the Scout brotherhood. As to their smartness and efficiency the Chief Scout has no kind of doubt whatever, but the carrying of staves, the rolledup sleeves, the correct wearing of the Scout hatSj scarves and badges, and the absence of imitation of military badges of rank or uniform are now essentially recognised, as the mark of Scouts all the world over."
