ENGLISH BOY SCOUTS AS MIGRANTS
SOUTH AUSTRALIAN PREMIER TO BE APPROACHED. (United Press Assn.—Telegraph Copyright.) (Rec. 5.5 p.m.) London, November 12. Sir Percy Winn Everett, a member of the executive committee of the Boy Scouts and Girl Guides Association, will sail for Adelaide tomorrow to discuss with the Premier of South Australia (Mr R. L. Butler) the reopening of the State to young British migrants. “We have on our books over 100 fine youths, all Boy Scouts, who are anxious to go on the land in the' Commonwealth,” said Sir Percy. “They would be sponsored by the Australian Scouts Association and we believe that the experiment would succeed and would lead to a bigger scheme.”
