A cabinet of headquarters with commissioners for various branches of Scouting—Cubs,. Scouts, Rovers and Sea Scouts—was being formed, and as soon as'finance made it possible Mr J. R. H. Cooksey, Dominion head of training, would visit the outlying areas. •• "The boy will be our sole consideration," said Mr Christie. "The changes in organisation and policy will have as their objective the furthering of the welfare of the youth of New Zealand. The charge lies upon us to prepare the boys to fit themselves to assume their tasks in life." _' '"'"■'.
