SPREADING THE SCOUT SPIRIT
■There arc now 310,000 Boy Scouts and 430,000 Girl Guides in Great Britain. The way in which the Scout movement has ‘caught on” is one of the miracles of modern times. Although the movement has not yet attained its majority—it celebrates its coming of age at a great jamboree in the North of England next year—there arc now 1,711,643 Scouts in training in forty-two different countries. The number in the British Empire is 382,223. In India alone there arc over 101,000 Scouts.
