SCOUTS JAMBOREE
CAMP AT TAHUNA PARK. [Per Press Association.] DUNEDIN. Last Night. Dunedin is to be invaded on Jamia ary 9 by 1100 Boy Scouts, sea scoutn and scoutmasters, who will go into camp at Tahuna Park for a Jamboree extending over a fortnight. The executive in charge of the jamboree has secured a -grant of £2OOO from the Government and this sum will pay a very large proportion of the fares of the 900 scoutmasters and scouts. The fares of scoutmasters and boys under 15 will be paid in full and scouts over 16 years of age will be called upon to pay only half of their travelling expenses. Arrangements have been made with the Union Steam Ship Company, by which 200 boys will leave Wellington on Friday January 8 and the remaining 352 will leave on the following day. To obviate the necessity or billeting the boys in Christchurch on Sunday, a special train will be run from Lyttelton to Dunedin on that clay. The camp will be broken on Sunday January 24 and a special train will take the boys to Lyttelton, where the ferry boat will be waiting to take them to Wellington.
