■ m [By " Black Chief."] The (ioverinor and Lady Liverpool will attend the entertainments given l>y the Hoy Scouts on November 7 and 8 itt the Opera House. Lord Liverpool holds the ollices of lion, president and Dominion Chief Scout. On Labour Day Sergt.-Major Cox, Scrgt. Hickman, Bugler Cairns, and Scout Rhodes, of the Sydenham Troop, rendered valuable (list aid assistance to a man who was found lying unconscious on Dyer's Pass Road. The hoys brought the patient to, and then carried the sufferer down the Kill to the tram terminus, placed him aboard a car, and tool; him to his home in the city. It is acts of this kind that show the value of Boy Scout training. Through removal from the (tistrict anil other causes, the Merivale Troop have lost a number of their best members. To this troop is given the honour of bringing back to Christchurch the King's Standard. Scoutmaster Collins and his boys are to be congratulated for the magnificent uphill light they put up. If the King's Standard arrives from Wellington in time, a present a Hon ceremony will take place at the Opera House next week. The recent concert of the St. Albans Troop was a great success. During the camp-fire .scene at the entertainment to be held on November 7 anil 8 at the Opera House, exhibitions of boxing and jiu-jitsu will lie given by scouts. The Avonside Troop, under the Chief Scoutmaster, have been having record attendances at their weekly parades. This troop always has plenty of spectators in the form of representatives from other troops. All brother scouts are made welcome and to feel at home at the Avonside Troop meetings, no matter what class, creed, or district they belong to.
