SENTINEL SCOUTS
BOYS OVER 15 YEARS
Many boys of- 15 to 18 years who had dropped out of the Boy Scout movement in Otago have been formed into a group known as ''sentinels," thus keeping up the scouting spirit until they arrive at the age when they can become Rovers (18 years) or scoutmasters. Colonel P. C. Fenwick said this at the annual meeting of the Dominion Scouts' Council in Wellington last week, and suggested that the plan might be adopted elsewhere. Ho said boys at 15 were too old for scouts and not old enough for Rovers or scoutmasters, and the scheme of "sentinels" would retain their interest in the scout movement.
