Johnston, Nelson, at the annual meeting of the Dominion Council of the Boy Scouts’ Association of New Zealand, } at Wellington. “We have nudist camps which are crowded and which are teaching absolute immorality in opposition to scouting,” he continued. “The scout movement is not getting the genuine support and backing that it deserves. There must be something wrong that we are not getting it, and we should examine ourselves to see where we are wanting.”
