SCOUT MOVEMENT.

VISITORS TO PALMERSTON NORTH.

Between 30 and 40 Scouters from the Hutt Valley and Wellington Bays district visited Palmerston North at the week-end for the purpose of fraternising with local Scouters. The party was in charge of Commissioner J. E. F. Vogel, and a most enjoyable time was spent. On Saturday afternoon, at the Terrace End School grounds, a soccer match between visiting and local Scoutmasters was plaj'ed, while the lady cub masters indulged in basketball. Both matches were won by the visitors, the soccer by three goals to two and the basketball 4—2.

On Saturday evening the contingent of visiting Scouters and lady cub masters were entertained at a social and dance in All Saints’ Hall by the local Scout Association. The hall was attractively decorated in the association’s colours of blue and white, and Mr N. D. Stubbs, district commissioner, welcomed about 100 guests. Novelties were distributed and an excellent supper was provided by the ladies responsible for organising the dance— Misses L. Bennett, T. Holmes and G. Andrews.
